Sean Strickland didn’t hold back when discussing the surprise fight between Mike Tyson and Jake Paul. Strickland criticized Paul for agreeing to fight Tyson, highlighting their age difference.

Former UFC champion Strickland has expressed his opinion on the upcoming summer showdown, strongly criticizing ‘The Problem Child’, Jake Paul. He labelled Paul as a ‘disgrace’ for agreeing to fight Tyson. During his recent interview with The Schmo, former UFC middleweight champion Sean Strickland was questioned about the highly debated matchup, Strickland said:
“Jake Paul… you are a disgrace of a man. You are the epitome of weakness. You are the s**m of the earth.”
Many have shared a similar view on Paul vs Tyson fight, Strickland suggested that Jake Paul’s decision to fight a nearly 60-year-old opponent is morally questionable. On the other hand, Joe Rogan has expressed confidence in the 57-year-old Tyson’s ability to defeat the 27-year-old Paul.
