UFC contender and former champion Sean Strickland brutally beat up a former Navy SEAL in a video that has outraged viewers and fans.
Fresh off a dominant win over opponent Paulo Costa at UFC 302, Strickland accepted the opportunity to spar with a Navy SEAL for five rounds during an in-cage sparring session.
The former SEAL’s name is Mitch Aguiar, and he’s actually an MMA veteran: Aguiar competed in 12 amateur bouts between 2013 and 2017, before turning professional in 2018. 2-1 Although he was active as a professional, he has not played in a match since 2020.

“The only SEAL that said yes… but… he’s the real one.”

“I’m not trying to knock you out,” he added.
But the playfulness quickly turned to brutality during five gruelling rounds of sparring. Send Aguiar to the canvas He tried many times but he never gave up.
“Mitch Aguiar is a barbarian who would beat 99.9% of people in a fight.[.] “He decided to spar with Sean Strickland for 25 minutes,” Shields wrote in a subsequent post. “He quickly learned that there are big differences between world champions, but that didn’t stop him from giving up, even after taking some brutal beatings.[,] Shawn clearly wasn’t going for the KO, but it still landed a nasty blow.[.] This is round five.”
Many fans were outraged at Strickland’s decision to fight a former military man, perhaps not realizing that he himself was a professional fighter.
It’s also important to consider that Aguiar has never reached the ranks of the UFC or a similar organization and competes at 170 pounds, a weight class below Strickland.
“This was unpleasant to watch. [not going to lie]” one viewer wrote. Sports in nature.
“What does this mean?[,] “Seriously?” another fan responded.
Other viewers mocked Strickland for not maintaining the same “energy” he had in his UFC losses.
Strickland remained friendly after the session and later Praise for Aguiar For being willing to get in the ring with him.

One reader used the example of Aguiar, who had one win and one loss at the time, to show how different the two sports are.
He also mentioned Brandon Wolf, whose career as a UFC fighter ended in 2010. 7-6 For the record, Wolf served in the SEALs from 1999 to 2001.
