Strickland has a history of going too hard during sparring. During his recent trip to Japan, 'Tarzan' sparred intensely with Japanese kickboxer and former K-1 super lightweight champion Rukiya Anpo.

The two-minute clip went viral right away because of the fighters' pure aggressiveness. Throughout the sparring, Strickland and Anpo exchanged hard blows with each other.

When Sean Strickland challenged a veteran Navy SEAL to a fight

Sean Strickland previously challenged former Navy SEAL Jason Pike, who claimed he could injure the MMA fighter in a street fight.

Strickland responded to Pike's comments on X, stating that he contacted the army veteran but received no response.

''I messaged him on Instagram, and he didn't message me back... roll through. Does he have a Twitter? Tag him, lol."

In another post, Strickland wrote:

''Listen, fighting is my job. Ask me to fight, tell me how much. If it's a good number I say yes... I train when I'm sick, and I train on vacation. I take my job seriously. But violence is my love, and if some Navy SEAL influencer wants to give me a therapy session, I'm game lol!!!!"
