Quinton ‘Rampage’ Jackson is expressing discontent with Sean Strickland’s behavior during a recent sparring session with social media personality Sneako.
The encounter took a chaotic turn earlier this year when Strickland, known as the Rumble streamer, aggressively went after ‘Tarzan,’ leaving Sneako bloodied and prompting concerns from cornermen.
Despite the corner throwing in the towel multiple times, Strickland persisted, leading UFC legend Forrest Griffin to step in and halt the session.

In a candid conversation on one of Sneako’s recent streams, former UFC light heavyweight champion Jackson shared his sentiments on the incident:
“I didn’t like what he did. It was wrong. As fighters, we are not supposed to do that s**t. That was wrong, but you are the man though, you didn’t give up… I don’t know much about him. I just learned who he was when he started talking a lot s**t on the internet [and] I was like, damn, when they gonna cancel this white boy, but it ain’t happened. I like him, but I didn’t like that he did that.”
Jackson’s disapproval echoes the sentiments of other notable figures in the industry. UFC commentator Joe Rogan, on one of his recent podcast episodes, criticized ‘Tarzan’ for his lack of restraint against the social media figure.
The controversy didn’t stop there. Following the incident, Jake Paul, known as ‘The Problem Child,’ issued a challenge to Sean Strickland for a sparring match, offering a tempting $1 million payday.
Shawn Strickland you’re embarrassing for trying to stop sneako like that
you weren’t even able to drop someone with no experience while going all out😅
You’re a horrid boxer that only picks on inexperienced people..
I’ll fly you to PR and we can fight on camera… if you win…

However, the stipulation was that ‘Tarzan’ would need to get “Betr” tattooed on him if he were to be dropped during the session.
Despite the tempting proposition, Jake Paul is no stranger to the boxing ring, boasting a 9-1 pro record with victories against formidable MMA opponents such as Anderson Silva and Nate Diaz.
In his most recent bout, the 27-year-old secured a first-round knockout against former Golden Gloves champion and professional boxer Ryan Bourland, solidifying his impressive track record in the boxing world.
