Sean Strickland’s comment on the trolling video

Sean Strickland’s promise to psychologically break David Goggins has been regarded with skepticism. However, it has undoubtedly sparked a discussion about the challenges and strengths connected with various types of mental resilience.

Sean Strickland, the UFC middleweight champion, recently turned to social media to mock Ian Garry and his wife, Layla Anna-Lee. Strickland didn’t hold back when it came to his feelings regarding Garry’s personal life. The conflict began when the former discovered Layla Anna-Lee’s book “How to Be a Wag.” The word ‘Wag’ is an abbreviation for the wives and girlfriends of high-profile sports figures.

Strickland called Ian Garry’s wife a “su**ubus.” This remark was in direct response to the discovery that Garry’s wife had written a book on the subject. The fact that Layla Anna-Lee is 14 years older than Garry exacerbated the matter. Sean Strickland didn’t shy away from addressing it, emphasizing that the age gap and the content of the book both bothered him.

You know I never talk about a fighters girls but fuck……. I almost feel bad for Ian Garry at this point….. bro your girl is a succubus…. :/ sorry bro it happens to us all once..

You got played…… #wag hope you have a good prenup….

The social media confrontation didn’t end there. Ian Garry replied, threatening Sean Strickland with legal action if the slander continued. Strickland, on the other hand, aggravated the situation by releasing screenshots of Garry’s communications and criticizing his courage. It remains to be seen if this rivalry will have any influence on the fighters’ professional careers or if it will fade away as simply another chapter in the world of MMA drama.
