Seasoned MMA fighter and two-time UFC Middleweight Champion Sean Strickland expressed his frustrations about the state of the UFC. On his personal X account, the fighter openly admits he is contemplating walking away from the organization. He considered moving up to 205 pounds to avoid weight cuts and joked about fighting Jake Paul.
“I gotta be honest unless things change with the UFC I’m kind of over it. McGregor makes 30 million to fight for 30 seconds, and they don’t want to pay us a fraction of it. Contemplating just going to 205 knocking out my contract and scrapping with @jakepaul That sounds fun.”
