Sean Strickland has built a reputation for his unfiltered and often controversial takes, making him one of the most outspoken fighters in the UFC. While names like Bryce Mitchell and Conor McGregor have also stirred the pot with their opinions, Strickland seems to be the one constantly ruffling feathers these days. One fighter who frequently finds himself in Strickland’s crosshairs is Belal Muhammad, and their ongoing tension just escalated again.
Sean Strickland’s latest media appearance went viral after he made pro-Israel statements, adding more fuel to his already controversial persona. With the ongoing Israel-Palestine conflict, which has claimed countless lives, his comments struck a nerve—especially with Belal Muhammad, who has always been vocal about his support for Palestine. Not one to hold back, Muhammad fired back at Strickland, calling him “human trash” and saying he had no issue with what Strickland’s father did to him.

Strickland’s cycle of controversy seems never-ending—he makes a provocative statement, triggers a response, and inevitably gets dragged for his troubled past, especially his issues with his father and childhood abuse. This time, his pro-Israel stance set off Muhammad, who didn’t hold back in his response. It’s almost a pattern now—Strickland stirs the pot, and in return, fighters take shots at his upbringing.
Sean Strickland vs. Belal Muhammad Feud
This isn’t the first time Muhammad has taken shots at Strickland. The UFC welterweight champion recently fired back with harsh criticism, accusing Strickland of always making excuses for everything he does. Muhammad didn’t hold back, mocking Strickland’s tendency to complain and taking a personal jab by referencing his troubled past with his father.
To which Strickland replied, making it clear he had no interest in ending their feud. When Muhammad spoke about moving up to middleweight, Strickland mocked him with a sarcastic remark, telling him to leave and return to Palestine. He doubled down on his stance during an interaction with ‘The Schmo,’ refusing to back down from the exchange. Indeed, it will be interesting to see if this rivalry ends or if the bad blood takes it to the cage.
