Sean Strickland and Joaquin Buckley are currently going at it on social media.
On Tuesday, the welterweight contender called out Sean Strickland and Dustin Poirier for their use of a racial slur.
Joaquin Buckley subsequently shared a video of him confronting the UFC middleweight champion in person.
Strickland has now responded by sharing some footage of his own.
Sean Strickland posted very brief, very grainy footage of himself sparring on Wednesday.
It seemingly showed Joaquin Buckley hitting the ground after charging into a counter from the 185lb king.
“Sit down Buckley,” Strickland captioned the post.
“I will say this with all sincerity, I feel bad watching the fall of Buckley,” he added in the comment section.
“I told you this before and I’ll tell you this again if you can drop this bs act youve been playing and move to Vegas I will teach you how to fight.”

It’s unclear when the sparring session took place, but Buckley confirmed he was the fighter shown hitting the canvas.
“Love it. #NowDoItAgain,” he replied
Strickland refused Buckley’s sparring offer, suggesting ‘New Mansa’ should take some time off after getting knocked out by Mike Malott last month.
“Bro I think your brain needs a little CTE break,” Strickland fired back.
