Jake Paul trashed Sean Strickland for being a ‘wannabe alpha male’ and exposed his real nature. Initially, the two went back and forth on X, teasing a fight between them. To be accurate, it is a sparring session. Now, the YouTuber-turned-boxer claimed Strickland has declined his sparring offer.
On his BS w/Jake Paul YouTube channel, Jake Paul stated Sean Strickland turned down his 1 million dollar sparring offer. Since the former champion blamed UFC contractual terms as a reason, Paul mentioned him sparring with Sneako to claim Strickland purposefully avoided him. Here is what he said:
We could spar for a million dollars, and then all of a sudden it's 'Oh, I'll get sued by the UFC if I spar Jake.' But you just sparred Sneako...I see a very insecure, lost, wannabe alpha male that's hiding behind the tough man complex. Mr. Shawny, I will put my soft little hand on his little bald head and make him feel the love his mother or father never gave him.Jake Paul (via BS w/Jake Paul)

Jake Paul wanted to spar Strickland after witnessing the beating he put on streamer Sneako, leaving him bloodied. Paul even put forth a 1 million dollar bet to interest the UFC fighter. However, according to Paul, Strickland excused himself from the deal. As such, Paul shared their private conversation on Instagram DMs to prove his point.
Sean Strickland only recently lost his UFC title to Dricus Du Plessis at UFC 297. However, unbothered from the loss, the former champion continued to express himself and entertain the fans. As such, he went live on Sneako’s stream and sparred him. Seeing Sneako’s helplessness, Jake Paul wanted to return the favor to Strickland and called for a sparring session. But it didn’t come to fruition.
Jake Paul exposes Instagram DMs with Sean Strickland
Jake Paul called out Sean Strickland to spar him and offered 1 million dollars for it. He even invited Strickland to Puerto Rico and promised to make all the arrangements. However, Strickland has declined the deal. As such, Paul trolled him for not accepting and released a screenshot of their private conversation.

In the chat, Jake Paul asked for Sean Strickland’s availability and assured him he would arrange a plane for his travel. Strickland, who claimed his X was in mute, pushed back the sparring offer and expressed his interest in fighting him in a professional bout. As such, he spoke about dealing with the UFC and its members.
Paul frankly told him he didn’t believe the UFC would subside but opened his arms for a fight anyway. The former champion excitedly said he would be paid big and pushed starting a conversation with the UFC.
Amidst Jake Paul revealing their conversation, Sean Strickland is yet to respond. He lost his middleweight title at UFC 297 and looked forward to booking a fight sooner to bounce back. However, he also looked at other opportunities outside the UFC to secure a lucrative deal. As such, he was very much interested in fighting Paul, but what’s next for the former champion is to be seen.
