Sean Strickland UFC boxing threat

    by Hars: Sean Strickland

    Sean Strickland wants a boxing title and is willing to fight Jake Paul for the money, but he's stuck under contract with the UFC. He argues the organization builds legacies without paying enough to let fighters walk away, leaving them to ruin their careers instead. If they deny his request to box, he plans to stick and move in his final fight while collecting his check. The crowd will boo, and he said straight up 'I'll boo with you' while doing it.
