- Machine Gun Kelly unleashed a flurry of insults at Sean Strickland
- “Tarzan” quickly responded
Machine Gun Kelly and Sean Strickland have engaged in a fiery exchange.
Hey, remember that weird moment when Machine Gun Kelly and Sean Strickland got into it at a slap-fighting show? Yeah, that actually happened!
So, Sean Strickland, who used to be a big deal in UFC fighting, isn’t exactly Mr. Friendly. He went to this slap-fighting event in Las Vegas earlier this year and spotted Machine Gun Kelly there.
Strickland, being Strickland, decided to give MGK a hard time. He called him names like “weirdo” and “vampire.” MGK didn’t back down, though. They got in each other’s faces until people stepped in to break it up.
It’s one of those strange moments in sports that sounds made up, but nope, it really happened!
MGK has spoken
Speaking to Impaulsive podcast, MGK finally hit back at “Tarzan,” who has been ranting about him on social media. As expected, Kelly also did not mince his words while addressing Strickland, even referring to the former UFC middleweight champion “insanely racist”, “homophobic” and “idiot.”
“I don’t know this guy from a crumb of bread,” Kelly said of Strickland. “I didn’t know who he was when I met him. I got hip afterwards 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. But 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.”
“He’s so dumb that I’m going to tell him right now,” he added. “You should not keep saying stuff, because it just makes me look better. But, you’re going to keep saying stuff. So, I know that you’ll react and say more things but you just shouldn’t. “As a person who’s just giving you big bro advice, learn this: shut the f**k up and don’t speak on me anymore and live your life. But, you won’t. And I’m going to continue laughing at you because you’re a f**king idiot.”

Sean did not let it slide
Unsurprisingly, MGK’s comments did not go unnoticed. In typical Strickland fashion, “Tarzan” fired back with his own unfiltered response.
“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” yall I’d hang out with you toxic trolls any day over this c*nt… Go back to cutting yourself you f**king weirdo,” Strickland wrote on X.

Strickland and Kelly have been feuding for a while now. It all started when the pair crossed paths in a Power Slap event back in February and ended up having an altercation.
