UFC fighter Sean Strickland goes off on Bryce Hall, promises to "backhand" the BKFC fighter in the face for saying "stupid sh*t"
Sean Strickland still clearly does not have a lot of love for Bryce Hall to say the least.
Strickland readies to fight former UFC middleweight title challenger Paulo Costa in this weekend's pay-per-view co-main event. But the former UFC middleweight champion still found time to direct his vitriol towards the online personality/ 1-0 BKFC combatant.
Taking questions from on-site reporters at the UFC 302 pre-fight media day, Strickland was asked about if Bryce Hall ever showed up to Las Vegas for a proposed sparring session with the mixed martial artist.
Responding to a reporter's inquiry about the influencer throw down, Strickland said:
"Oh god, what a f****** c***, dude. What a f****** c***. It's actually funny, we have people in the same circle and they'll be like no, he just wants to be your friend. Bryce Hall, you said some stupid s**** and I'm gonna f****** backhand you. I'm gonna hit you right in the f****** face.
"At that moment, you can choose to be a f****** man and take your a** beating or you can be a little b****. But after I'm done f****** beating the s**** out of you, we can be friends. Bryce Hall you f****** c***. You f****** influencer. You f****** slap fight f****** c***. They think I'm getting aggressive now. Two more, who's next? Who's f****** next?"

Sean Strickland and Bryce Hall: The Beef History
The 33-year-old and Bryce Hall seemingly began their rivalry after an exchange of direct messages earlier this year relating to the aforementioned idea of sparring one another.
The combat sports neophyte DMed Strickland asking to spar him in the wake of 'Tarzan's' infamous video beating up streamer Sneako in a mismatched sparring session that went viral.
Former UFC light heavyweight champion Forrest Griffin had to step in to stop Sean Strickland from pulverizing the online personality any more. The subsequent footage was polarizing among those who saw it on social media thereafter.
The California native was not only game to throw down with Hall but revealed screenshots of the direct messages to the public and intimated that people would see a dead body if this sparring session were to ever take place.
Sean Strickland then became involved in a tangled web of social media posts involving Jake Paul as well as Mike Perry. A situation that escalated to a point where 'Platinum' Perry suggested a pseudo-tournament style throwdown with all of the aforementioned fighters.
