Joe Rogan slams Sean Strickland for “beating the f*ck” out of Sneako
Spotify/Joe RoganFight commentator and comedian Joe Rogan has put former UFC middleweight champion Sean Strickland on blast for “beating the f**k” out of Sneako.
Sean Strickland has come under a ton of fire from the combat sports community recently after meeting with Rumble streamer Sneako for a sparring match in February 2024.
Strickland, who recently lost his middleweight title to Dricus du Plessis at UFC 297, didn’t hold back by any means, giving Sneako quite the beating during their scrap — which he’s faced criticism for.
And now, UFC commentator Joe Rogan has spoken on the situation, calling out the MMA star for “beating the f**k” out of Sneako.
Joe Rogan calls out Sean Strickland after Sneako spar
During a February 16 episode of the Joe Rogan Experience podcast, the UFC commentator slammed Strickland for carrying out a sparring session with Sneako.
“He beat up that kid who’s a smaller than him streamer named Sneako, which is not a good look. He beat the sh*t out of that guy,” he said. “I just don’t know why he wanted to do that. It’s so easy for him to beat that guy up. It’s not fair.”
However, while being baffled by Strickland’s reasoning, Rogan was just as confused with the streamer for agreeing to it in the first place. “I don’t know what that kid thought,” he said. “He’s so silly for doing that, for agreeing to do that with Sean Strickland. If you agree to do that with Israel Adesanya, Israel Adesanya will take care of you.”
Joe added: “He won’t f**k you up, he’ll smile, and laugh, and hug you afterward. You can spar with him, I guarantee you could spar with him. Sean Strickland is a different animal. Sean Strickland has this f**king man code and he believes in it. You’re essentially agreeing to let him beat the f**k out of you because you don’t really have a chance.”
Touching gloves with Sneako has only sparked other influencers such as Bryce Hall to challenge the former UFC champion, with Strickland claiming it’ll end with a “dead body.”
Not only that, Jake Paul has called out Strickland to spar and is willing to put up $1 million on the line if he loses.
