The star in question, Sneako, recently made an unfortunate miscalculation in the realm of professional fighting.
In recent times, an increasing number of stars have shown a growing interest in entering the boxing ring or the freestyle cage to face off against professional fighters. This was the case last weekend with Sneako, whose real name is Nicolas Kenn De Balinthazy. He stepped into the cage with none other than Sean Strickland, the former UFC middleweight champion.
The invitation to Strickland came from Sneako himself, a well-known supporter of Donald Trump — a sentiment shared by Strickland, who even had a meeting with Trump last Thursday.
In retrospect, Sneako might have reconsidered his decision to invite Strickland for a second time, given that the sparring session turned into a somewhat one-sided affair.
Despite multiple attempts to halt the session by throwing in towels, Strickland, also known by his nickname “Tarzan”, was not easily dissuaded. It eventually took the intervention of Forrest Griffin, a former UFC fighter, to put a stop to the bout.
Strickland, in a conversation with mmajfighting.com, remarked, “As we approach the three-minute mark, you’re going to feel a lot more pain.”
Sneako, who has a substantial following on Instagram with 1.6 million followers, has expressed interest in becoming a professional boxer himself.
Strickland, on the other hand, lost the UFC championship belt to Dricus Du Plessis in January. He later accused Du Plessis of deliberately punching him in the eye, causing him to lose his sight during the match. However, Du Plessis has refuted these allegations, stating that no formal complaints were lodged regarding the match.
