Sean Strickland fires back at Machine Gun Kelly's recent comments
Sean Strickland recently reacted to Machine Gun Kelly's comments that the UFC middleweight contender is "insanely racist and homophobic." The feud between the two took shape when Strickland asked MGK to "dress like a fu*king man" during a Power Slap event.
MGK asserted that he wasn't informed about Strickland's controversial comments. If that was the case, he asserts that he would've never wanted to shake hands with the UFC fighter. Strickland fired back at MGK's comments on X, writing:
''Getting lectured by a guy who drinks blood and wears a purse.. Dawg you had a mid life crisis and tattooed your entire body. The "the x community of intolerance" y'all I'd hang out with you toxic trolls any day over this c*nt... Go back to cutting yourself you f**king weirdo.''
