UFC fighter Sean Strickland has intensified his feud with rapper Colson Baker, better known as Machine Gun Kelly (MGK), following their encounter at a Power Slap event in February. 

The tension escalated when Strickland responded to Baker’s recent comments on Logan Paul’s Impaulsive podcast with a series of sharp remarks on social media. On X (formerly Twitter), Strickland mocked Baker’s appearance and lifestyle, saying, "Getting lectured by a guy who drinks blood and wears a purse," and adding, "You had a mid-life crisis and tattooed your entire body."

Strickland further provoked Baker by referencing his past struggles, stating, "Go back to cutting yourself, you f***ing weirdo." This outburst was in response to Baker’s podcast comments, where he described Strickland as "insanely racist and homophobic." Baker admitted he didn’t know who Strickland was at their first meeting but asserted that, had he known, he would have never shaken his hand.

Baker also criticized Strickland for his apparent insecurities and advised him to "shut the f*** up" and stop discussing him. The rapper’s remarks were in reaction to Strickland’s earlier appearance on Verse Us With Eric Nicksick, where Strickland talked about their encounter and mentioned Baker’s partner, Megan Fox.
