“You are going to take cr*p” - Chael Sonnen analyzes Ian Garry’s escalating conflict with UFC middleweight champ Sean Strickland

Chael Sonnen has broken down the escalating feud between rising star Ian Garry and Sean Strickland.

Garry's frustration with Strickland ignited when the champion made eyebrow-raising comments about Garry's wife, Layla Anna-Lee, on social media.

The English presenter had penned a book titled 'How to be a WAG', offering insights into navigating relationships with professional athletes. This revelation set off a social media storm, with fans questioning the authenticity of Garry's marriage.

The outspoken Strickland didn't miss the chance to add fuel to the fire. In a post on X, he referred to Anna-Lee as a "succubus" and suggested Garry had been played. This prompted Garry to demand the post's removal and even threaten 'Tarzan' with legal action, alleging harassment and defamation.

Two-weight UFC title challenger Chael Sonnen dissected the situation on his YouTube channel. Reflecting on Garry's position as an undefeated, up-and-coming fighter, he stated:

"He's [Ian Garry] young, he's a celebrity, he's signed to the biggest organization, he's on pay per view, he's undefeated, he's a top-ranked guy. He is possibly one win away, a from a world title opportunity. He is currently bickering with the sitting champion.

"He doesn't have to take cr*p from anybody. Unless the champion from one weight class above you decides to put a finger in your chest. In that case, you are going to take cr*p, you're going to take a lot of it, you're going to take as much as he chooses to give you. Could you imagine being in this spot?"

Henry Cejudo suggests Ian Garry-Sean Strickland legal feud might be a marketing move

Former UFC double champ Henry Cejudo has speculated whether the potential lawsuit between Ian Garry and Sean Strickland is nothing more than a clever promotional ploy.

In a video posted on his YouTube channel, 'Triple C' questioned the authenticity of the brewing legal battle, suggesting it might be a strategic move to drum up interest and hype:

"The lawsuit with Sean Strickland that they're trying to do, like this is all their marketing plot. Like, do we really even want - I'm even skeptical of bringing this conversation into life because who knows that they may come after me too. I mean, I'm not saying anything, the only thing that I'm saying is things are coming about."
