UFC fighter Sean Strickland grabbed attention without even getting into the Octagon after he recently took aim at rapper Bad Bunny during a podcast appearance. Now, former NFL star Robert Griffin III just isn’t having it.
Strickland dismissed Bad Bunny’s influence on popular culture and, worse, questioned his heritage and masculinity. His comments swiftly circulated on social media, with Griffin also taking notice.
The 36-year-old Griffin, who just isn’t afraid to ruffle some feathers, posted a video of Strickland getting viciously knocked out by UFC star Alex Pereira in 2022 and added an equally ruthless caption.
“Sean Strickland got hit so hard by a foreigner that he forgot Puerto Ricans are US residents. Not to say that this misogynistic crybaby would get tossed like salad if he ever stepped foot on a football field within the NFL. Worry about not getting knocked out in your next fight,” wrote Griffin.

It has been weeks since Bad Bunny’s performance at Super Bowl LX, and yet, individuals are still talking about him. He has even transcended to the UFC.
The award-winning rapper’s performance was hailed by many as a cultural milestone and an enormous win for diversity, especially amid the federal government’s divisive immigration crackdown.
The 34-year-old Strickland, who had a violent childhood, is one among several personalities who’ve criticized Bad Bunny. Strickland has built his brand with inflammatory opinions.
His reckless comments about Bad Bunny quickly led to a backlash, and now, Griffin has joined the fray.
Griffin, who spent eight years within the NFL, has been vocal about racial issues, and calling out Strickland is his way of creating his stance clear.
