Kickboxer Andrew Tate has expressed that he does not have any interest in a potential matchup against Sean Strickland. Strickland, who is known for his sparring sessions with streamer Sneako, does not catch the attention of Tate. Tate, who is controversial for various reasons, has had issues with modern culture and particularly dislikes kick streamers and their content. This has led to him becoming an enemy in the MMA sphere as well. Recently, a video of Tate speaking about societal norms went viral, highlighting his disagreement with the copying of ideologies despite their differences. Strickland, prior to UFC 297, aimed to expose Tate as a “moral-less” role model. In light of Sneako sparring with Strickland, Tate was asked about a potential fight in a recent episode of his podcast, but he considers the issue to be trivial.
Strickland, who is rebounding from his UFC 297 title loss, has been involved in various incidents with influencers, including Sneako. The sparring session between Strickland and Sneako at the UFC Performance Institute resulted in Sneako being bloodied and Strickland raising his hand in a sign of respect. Strickland has also engaged in a war of words with Paul and Hall. Hall recently shed light on Strickland’s attempts to degrade influencers transitioning to the MMA space. Despite these conflicts, a greater enemy for Strickland looms in the form of Andrew Tate. Tate has dismissed any possibility of fighting Strickland, even for a significant fight purse. However, the enmity between them remains.
Before his first defense, Strickland criticized Tate for not being a good role model during a podcast with the Nelk Boys. This criticism stemmed from Tate’s brother shaming Strickland for an emotional breakdown related to childhood abuse. Comedian Theo Von also discussed this topic on his podcast. Prior to these incidents, Tristan had mocked Tate for his rants against the kickboxer’s alleged shady webcam business. Tate also disapproved of Strickland’s sparring session with Sneako, considering it to be degenerative. It is evident that Tate and Strickland have a history of animosity that could potentially manifest in a fight in the future.
