A UFC champion is probably the last person in the world any regular person would want to fight. So it makes sense that even rapper Machine Gun Kelly turned the other cheek to trash talk issued by UFC middleweight champion Sean Strickland.

Strickland posted a video to X, the social media platform formerly known as Twitter, in which the two crossed paths for the first time at an undetermined location.

According to Strickland, Machine Gun Kelly — real name Colson Baker — grew upset that the mixed-martial arts champion didn’t know who he was.

Strickland proceeded to launch an expletive-filled rant at the rapper.

“You look like a […] weirdo. You dress like a […] vampire,” Colson can be heard saying in the video.

Colson, in a separate video posted to Instagram, revealed that he wouldn’t be racing at Nitrocross because he broke the “golden rules” of “being an influencer.”

But in that video, he dished more on the dust-up with MGK. He

“I meet a […] vampire,” Strickland said. “A […] vampire wearing a man bag with painted nails that was so insulted that I didn’t know who […] he was.”

Strickland didn’t stop there, either.

“He acted like a woman, because I didn’t know nor do I care who he was.”

Strickland went on to say that society needs to return to 1776, when men didn’t wear makeup or carry bags.

MGK did not immediately respond to the taunts.
