WATCH: ‘Bloodied his nose’ – Multiple towels thrown in while Sean Strickland ANNIHILATES controversial streamer Sneako in octagon sparring

Controversial streamer, Sneako, faced a brutal beating during an octagon sparring session with former UFC middleweight title challenger, Sean Strickland. The sparring match took place at the UFC Performance Institute in Las Vegas and was live-streamed on Rumble.

The video is a short one around a minute long. It shows Sean Strickland backing Sneako up in the corner with his constant pressure. He then finds a chink in Sneako’s defense and starts battering him. Sneako bravely absorbed the powerful blows but was outmatched by the professional fighter.

Towels flew into the octagon from Sneako’s corner as Strickland continued his onslaught, but Sneako refused to go down. The match was finally waved off by UFC Hall of Famer, Forrest Griffin. The final seconds of the video show a bloodied Sneako standing as others applaud him for not going down.

While known for his controversial opinions, Sneako demonstrated tremendous heart in surviving multiple rounds with an elite like Strickland. The 32-year-old ‘Tarzan‘ is coming off a title fight loss to Dricus Du Plessis at UFC 297. He showcased the ruthless aggression and constant pressure that has defined his career.

The viral footage highlights the vast difference between even high-level recreational fighters and UFC veterans. Sneako’s followers were likely surprised to see their favorite streamer so thoroughly dominated in the cage. But Sneako’s courage against such a dangerous opponent like Strickland will likely only further endear him to his fanbase.

Sneako trains his jab with Sean Strickland’s teammate

Sneako is looking to refine his boxing skills with help from an unlikely source – UFC fighter Chris Curtis. Curtis is a teammate of former middleweight champion, Sean Strickland. He recently offered pointers to help Sneako improve his jab technique.

Curtis shares his method for throwing an effective jab in the clip. He advises Sneako to envision snatching a $100 bill out of the air using the jab to quickly grab it. This visual helps teach the importance of speed and precision when jabbing. Curtis stresses the jab should be a fast, snapping technique rather than thrown with brute strength.

Sneako is best known for his outspoken views on social media and streaming platforms. But he has recently taken an interest in combat sports training after being called out by jiu-jitsu star Mikey Musumeci. He has sought the guidance of UFC veterans like Curtis and is looking to cross-train in MMA.
