Sean Strickland is currently in a feud with rapper/musician Colson Baker, known professionally as Machine Gun Kelly.
It all started after Strickland ran into MGK at a Power Slap event in February, when the former UFC middleweight champion asked the rapper to dress as a man and also questioned why actress Megan Fox chose him as her partner.
“What on earth is going on guys….Megan Fox from Transformers is with that thing….What on earth happened to the world?!. What did I miss?. Is she ok?. Is this guy the devil?” [Megan
Fox] Are you OK? Do you need help?

More recently, during an appearance on the “Verse Us” podcast with Eric Nicksick, Strickland claimed Fox had sent her direct messages about her earlier comments. Strickland even apologized for Fox’s comments, which allegedly led to the bullying of her children.
But that didn’t stop people from slamming MGK on social media earlier this week.
“There was a time when black was cool…..and I think it went into a decline after MGK was accepted by the community….After MGK things got really shady….A little bit gay and a little bit satanic!! Maybe because he sucked blood,” Strickland wrote to X.
I mean, there was a time when being black was cool…..and I think that started to decline when MGK was accepted into the community….
After MGK things got really shady. A little bit gay, a little bit satanic, I don’t know!! Maybe it’s because he was drinking blood?

MGK then appeared on Logan Paul’s podcast “Impaulsive” to fire back at Strickland. The rapper claims that if he’d known about the fighter’s racist and homophobic past, he would never have shook hands with Strickland in the first place. After criticizing Strickland’s intelligence, MGK gave him some “Big Brother” advice: “Shut up.”
“I don’t know this guy at all,” he said. “When I met him, I didn’t know who he was. Then I realized he was a goddamn racist and homophobe and not my type of guy, so I didn’t want to shake his hand in the first place. But he also represents people who are too scared to be themselves, because if you can be yourself, you don’t care who or what other people are. He’s such a fool that I’m going to tell him right now, ‘You shouldn’t keep saying that, because it just makes me look better, but you’re going to keep saying it, and I know you’re going to react and say more, but you need to stop. I’m just giving you Big Brother advice, so learn this: Shut up! And don’t call me names, live your life. But you won’t and I’m going to keep laughing at you, because you’re like, ‘You’re so stupid.'”
And just as MGK predicted, it didn’t take long for Strickland to respond.
“Being lectured by a man who drinks blood and wears a handbag… you had a midlife crisis and got full body tattoos,” Strickland wrote. “‘Intolerant X Community’, I’ll deal with you venomous trolls on this any day… go back to hurting yourself you freaky freak.”
