Sean Strickland, middleweight champion, is known for not shutting up in any situation. The American does not hesitate to point out his perspective on things.
On social media, Strickland has sent a harsh message about women's MMA fights.
"They're boring," he said unblushingly replying to a news item that said Paige VanZant had made more money on Only Fans in one day than she had made in the sport in her entire career.
Sean believes she was signed "for being sexy." A comment that fired up Valentina Shevchenko, a seven-time UFC flyweight winner.
"Interesting analysis here. this seems more like an offended kid who made less money in his entire fighting career than the female fighters! Nice try, maybe UFC will see that and add some cash to your purse next time. But for now the naked one is you," Shevchenko assured on social network X/Twitter.

To which the American replied, "Valentina, you lost to a girl who pulls guard, looks like you learned how to fight from a YouTube video. Women's MMA is a joke. It's like watching kids fight, it's fun but we all know it's garbage. You only have a job because you know when to put your heels on and when to take your clothes off."
This is not the first time Strickland has launched messages along these macho lines. The conversation between the two left a controversial thread on social media. And it looks like it won't be the last.
