The back and forth between former UFC middleweight champion Sean Strickland and former Navy SEAL and endurance athlete David Goggins began back in July.
Strickland posted a video to instagram challenging any Navy SEAL to come train with him. “I don’t think there’s one f**king Navy SEAL who could survive a week training with me,” Strickland said video.
A Navy SEAL took Strickland up on the offer and showed up to spar the top UFC middleweight contender. Afterward, Strickland posted a video of the sparring session with a Navy SEAL to social media. Strickland mercilessly beat and clowned the SEAL in the video before giving respect to him for not quitting.

After seeing Strickland’s social media post, Goggins issued a challenge of his own. “You made the challenge to begin with. I simply responded as any man would,” Goggins tagged Strickland in a video response. “You simply said that no Navy SEAL could train with you, talking about all of the hype about Navy SEALs, etc. Well, I am your guy! I don’t hate you, I don’t even know you but let’s stop running our mouths and just get this sh*t knocked the f**k out and move the f**k on already.”
“Three days training with me and I will be more than happy to put the gloves on and spar with you,” Goggins continued in his response. “This is my last attempt to put an end to clickbaiting all of the bs. There’s just too much talk and no action!”
It didn’t take long for Strickland to issue a reply. “This is why I make fun of you,” Strickland replied. “I live in Las Vegas, you live in Las Vegas….. I train at xtreme couture everyday, the door is always open… instead let’s get on the tiktok and make a video lol..@mitch_aguiar showed…. all you gotta do is walk in the door.”
“Cracks me up to hear David Garggle Goggins rant… ‘I’m old school’ as he’s on tiktok ‘let’s handle this like men.’ Ok sure. I’m in Vegas, you’re in Vegas….. I train at the same gym everyday.. IM EASY TO FIND! ” Strickland added in a post on ‘X’. “You on the other hand…. you just live on tiktok….location?”
Strickland later apologized to Goggins and blamed the back and forth on being ‘bored,’ but that wasn’t the end of it. In a recent interview with The Schmo, Strickland relentlessly trashed Goggins.

“Let me tell you why I make fun of Navy SEALs. The moment these c**ts become influencers, it’s fair game,” Strickland said. “You’re supposed to be a badass Navy SEAL. You’re supposed to be merking motherf***ers. Now I see you roided out on the gram talking about staying hard. You don’t know what hard is. You’re an influencer. I could f**k you if I wanted to Goggins.”
Strickland and Goggins have gone back in forth in both private messages and publicly on social media. Strickland did not mince his words in his recent interview.
“With that being said, Goggins, I will break your f**king face, dude. I will end your little ass, bro. I’ll f**k you up so bad you’ll think you’re back in Afghanistan, son,” Strickland said. “You don’t want a piece of this. You better stay your a** on the f**king running.”
“I do a man’s game. I’m not running like a little woman. Prey runs motherf***er. You’re going to be running from me,” Strickland continued. “If you want a piece my dog, come to Xtreme. You’re in Vegas. I’m in Vegas. All you’ve got to do is get those little f**king legs and walk. You could jog to the f**king place. I am there. I will sodomize you, Googins.”
