In the world of combat sports, it's not uncommon to see fighters clashing both inside and outside the octagon. Trash talk, mind games, and personal vendettas often fuel the drama that fans crave. But when a fighter beefs with a rock star, it’s a whole different kind of spectacle. Enter Sean Strickland and Machine Gun Kelly (MGK), whose recent back-and-forth has captivated both MMA fans and music enthusiasts alike.
The saga began when MGK, during an appearance on the ImPaulsive podcast, unloaded his thoughts about Strickland. "The art of me standing or existing makes people furious," MGK said. He went on to dismiss Strickland, saying, "I don't know this guy from a crumb of bread."
MGK didn’t hold back, criticizing Strickland’s character: "I didn’t know who he was when I met him. I got hip afterward that he's insanely racist and homophobic, and just not my type of guy. So, I would have never even wanted to shake hands with him in the first place." The musician continued, "He also is just a representative of every person who's too scared to just be themselves. Because, if you're comfortable as yourself, you just don't care who anybody else is and how they are."
Strickland, known for his unfiltered and often controversial remarks, wasn’t going to let that slide. He fired back on Twitter, mocking MGK’s lifestyle choices: "Getting lectured by a guy who drinks blood and wears a purse. Dawg, you had a mid-life crisis and tattooed your entire body."
Strickland’s rebuttal didn’t stop there. He continued, "The 'The X community of intolerance' y'all, I'd hang out with you toxic trolls any day over this c***. Go back to cutting yourself, you f***ing weirdo."
The clash between these two couldn’t be more unusual. On one hand, we have Sean Strickland, a UFC middleweight contender and former champion, known for his brutal fighting style and unapologetic personality. On the other, there’s Machine Gun Kelly, a multi-talented musician and actor who’s made headlines for his eclectic style and high-profile relationships. The contrast between the two couldn’t be starker, yet here they are, embroiled in a heated war of words.
While celebrity feuds are nothing new, the idea of a rock star beefing with an MMA fighter is certainly out of the ordinary. MGK’s sharp verbal jabs and Strickland’s unfiltered responses have created a perfect storm of drama that has left fans wondering: What’s next? Will this beef stay confined to the internet, or could it escalate into something more?
The reality is, if this feud ever turned physical, Strickland would likely make short work of MGK. After all, Strickland’s career revolves around dismantling opponents in the octagon, while MGK’s expertise lies in music and entertainment. But the odds of this clash moving beyond social media are slim. Instead we’re left with a fascinating, if bizarre, exchange that showcases just how far the boundaries of celebrity feuds can stretch.
As this unlikely beef continues to unfold, Fight.TV will be keeping a close eye on any further developments. Whether it’s more Twitter barbs or an unexpected escalation, this is one debacle you won’t want to miss. Stay tuned!
