UFC’s middleweight champion Sean Strickland is not happy with Tyson Fury calling himself “the “baddest man on the planet,” as according to him, he is far from being one. Tyson Fury and Francis Ngannou are going to lock horns on Saturday, August 28th, in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. The face-off and press conference prior to the fight are over, and fans are waiting for the night when these two heavyweights face each other in the ring. However, the current UFC middleweight champion is not at all excited to see the boxing match, and taking on X, he showed his disappointment. Though he recognized Tyson Fury as a great boxer, declaring him the baddest man on earth is far from acceptable.
We all know Tyson will win this but what annoys me is the trash talk. Its like beating a guy in a wheel chair, its not a fight, you're not the baddest man on the planet. This means absolutely nothing. You're a great boxer but baddest man on the planet. Far from.

The majority of the fans are speculating that it would be a one-sided boxing match due to the lack of experience of Francis Ngannou in boxing. Though he got knockout punch power, his defense against Tyson Fury will work or not on fight day. Sean Strickland recognized Tyson Fury as one of the greatest boxers, but he believes that Francis Ngannou could easily beat him in a “real fight,” where by “real fight,” he meant an MMA one.
Francis Ngannou’s coach, Mike Tyson, strongly believes that it would take only one perfect strike from the predator to knock down the gypsy king on the canvas. Even if he has a strong chin, it won’t be able to bear the damage of Francis Ngannou’s punch.
