Former UFC Middleweight champ Sean Strickland has agreed to fight Bryce Hall after seeing what he did inside the octagon to Rumble streamer Sneako.
Sean Strickland has emerged as one of the UFC’s top talents despite losing the Middleweight title to rival Dricus du Plessis at UFC 297 in a closely contested battle.
Despite the loss, Strickland has been making waves online, feuding with influencer-turned-boxer Jake Paul and even annihilating Sneako when the streamer asked to spar.
Bryce Hall, who has shown to be quite tough himself by competing in bare-knuckle fighting, saw footage of the spar and decided to throw his own hat into the octagon, challenging Strickland to take him on – something the UFC star accepted.
Sean Strickland warns Bryce Hall fight will end with a “dead body”
On X, formerly known as Twitter, Bryce Hall retweeted the fight between Strickland and Sneako, commenting how he’d be down to spar the former UFC champ.
A few days later, Sean posted a screenshot of his Instagram conversation with Hall agreeing to the fight, saying it was a “deal.”

“Me and you this week. I’ll give you a location. You can bring a pro or something,” he said. “Just me and you, I’m tired of this gym BS. You ready to be a man for the first time in your life?”
It’s not clear if Hall ended up responding to Sean on Instagram, but that didn’t stop Strickland from upping the ante and making his agreement to fight public by sending the influencer a warning.
“You all wanna see a dead body?” he asked. “God this is the only thing I’ve ever wanted. Please please I never ask you for anything… please.”

For his part, Bryce did end up agreeing to Strickland’s terms, replying back, “U know I’m down Seanny boy” with a winky emoji.
We’ll have to wait and see how this next fight goes down and if Bryce Hall can fair a bit better than Sneako did when he faced off against one of MMA‘s top athletes.
