Navy seals putting out cringe and embarrassing content towards ufc fighter Sean Strickland, I break down why it’s so dumb. #specialforces #greenberet #ufc
That's actually concerning, these dope heads are supposed to be the best of the best, doing some seriously dangerous shit. And then these dudes think they are Steven seagull
Thr navy seal who sparred Strickland was actually a humble dude. The other ones who were talking shit are the ones who need to get in there and spar Strickland 😂
I was thinking of the analogy of SOF operators that conducted mobile security operations thinking they could beat pro drivers in racing. So ignorant and arrogant at the same time. Humans are specialists. Any competent operator should know that.
Something to be said about "The Quiet Professionals". When i was a kid, my Dad would take me to a bar on Christmas Eve, every year, and we would sit on stools next to my Grandfather. My Grandad hated Christmas, would never be at home with Grandma and the dog. I never knew why. He would just sit and sip beer all night. Decades later, after I have served multiple combat tours, I found out he was actually in The Battle Of The Bulge. I finally understood........people that have been there and done that, dont like to talk about it, they just want to be left alone. God Bless you Pops. I miss you
It depends, with my line of work, i met plenty of special ops guys and i am good friends with a few. They won't divulge things out in the open for eveyone to know but once yok get to know them, some like to speak about their experiences and some do not.
My grandfather was there with the 106th. He also didn't talk about it, my grandma has said that the only time he ever talked about the war was when speaking to others who had also fought in the war
Damn, no battle in ww2 would have been fun by any means but the battle of the bulge definitely would have been a brutal battle to fight in, in a war riddled with unbelievable brutality and death.
Not sure what peoples deal is thinking a street fight with “no rules” is going to go down any different then in the cage, 9/10 it’ll make Sean even more dangerous
To play devils advocate, for everyone in this thread; a sambo player might have the edge on an amateur mma player in a violent playing for keeps type of street fight.
Mitch Aguiar is the SEAL that stepped into the ring with Sean. He is a professional MMA fighter himself and a solid dude. He said himself that he knew there was no beating Sean but he just wanted to see if he could last the sparring match. He got his ass beat for the full 25 min (Sean could have ended it as soon as they started but said he didn't want to knock him out), but took it like a man and was super humble about the whole thing from the start. He ate a head kick at the end that would make most dudes take a dirt nap for a while. Earned Sean's respect as well as many others for hopping into the ring even though he knew the odds weren't in his favor at all. Kudos Mitch
@@markusstolac3664 no, he's in good shape, just not competition shape (which includes cutting weight...he cuts about 40 lbs). He says he's been competing in Jits only now.
Retired 18Z here, ODA 522 and 026. 6'4" 240lbs. VFT speaks the truth. In 22 years, 1/2 as a paratrooper 82nd and 509th, I received a few hours a year of hand to hand. The only one I remember specifically was a class given during MOUT tng in Bonnland. It was excellent because the instructors were outstanding and humorous. Back in the day, we called SEALS California cowboys, and I'm sure they called us names too. The strength of an A Team is not in its individual members but as a group. Take 12 UFC fighters in hand to hand with an ODA, and it's Custer's last stand. But take those same UFC and plop them down in the empty quarter of Oman or the jungles of Panama and have them stand up a fighting force of locals, ain't happening. God made man, and Colt made him equal.
No doubt, obvious different strength. Put 12 UFC fighters in the woods against 12 armed SF dudes and you’ll end up with 12 dead fighters, but in the cage is obviously opposite. Nothing wrong with acknowledging reality.
Respect for your service. I think Strickland got pissed off mostly because Goggins got a great Ufc fighter with mental issues who was way gone past his prime to say the least and who was at the lowest possible point in his carrer physically and mentally. His training run his beat up body to the ground instead of Tony getting the right mma training honing his skills in a real mma gym. Goggins should have stayed in his lane running untrained people to death. Strickland should not have included other seals but I guess they can not help trying to tell the whole world how tough they were fighting guys in sandals with Ak's while they had air support, intelligence, tanks, missiles etc. I do not see any black rock type of guys on the front lines in Ukraine
I got into a street fight when I was in the Marines. I thought I was a badass MCMAP warrior. I don't remember the fight at all however, when I woke up back inside the bar and asked what was going on I was promptly told "You just got KTFO, we need to leave".
Yeah, when I joined an MMA gym my kickboxing coach was a former Marine and I was Army. He said he envied our program because it closely resembled actual fighting compared to MCMAP. I train now and it’s much harder than what I did in the military in regard to hand to hand combat. Not in the same realm. I respect Marines a ton but a lot of them let that title go to their heads when it comes to fighting.
In Ranger school, they do like an hour long “hand to hand” combat pit where everyone essentially rolls with a partner and then switches partners repeatedly..I just remember trying to conserve energy and faking it with my partners lol
@@nichfol that’s really not a lot compared to many martial art hobbyists. Most local mma schools have open mat days. Come in and spar for 3-4 hours straight, with 5 minute rounds, so you’re constantly having to move. Can be striking, grappling, or both. I’ve been to some where you had to do 100 pushups between each round. Some schools are open to other arts, so boxer, karate, kung fu show up… or people do weapons. I personally like going empty handed against weapons. Dedicated hobbyists might put in 3-16 hrs a week of training. They could have 5-20+ years under their belt… and still be humble enough to be a forever student.
@@ajaniwinston8117 that’s exactly my point, military hand to hand stuff is essentially non existent so I always find it silly when guys start talking g shit to people who train for a living or free time haha
So that was Mitch Aguilar. He fought in a local MMA Org while in the Teams won two titles but that’s the difference between elite striker and not. Props to Mitch for stepping in there in no way am I talking shit about him. He’s a big dude just Sean is a elite
No knock on him, it’s just a demonstration proving my point how moronic the other clips are. If a dude that’s Sean’s size and a trained fighter got absolutely dismantled, imagine any of those other dudes.
@@ValhallaVFT no I agree with you 1000% that must off came across wrong was more just adding to you saying Mitch looks like he trains. He does runs his own mma and fitness gym even has a supplement brand. But I whole hardly agree with you👊🏼.
A Navy SEAL wouldn't beat Sean Strickland or any MMA fighter in a fight, just like Strickland wouldn't beat a SEAL in a gun fight/war. Let's be fair, nothing but respect for both.
@@mrhay7712I don't think you realize that many where not teens in flip flops but warriors who'd been in war their whole lives, eager to gain prestige for killing Americans. You underestimate the opposition gravely.
@ch-yq5yn not even just technology, they probably couldn't even do 50 push-ups or run a mile, or even know how to read. They cant all be battle hardened when they need so many replacements either
Yea I've seen it all lol but I honestly don't think Sean would last a day in a fire fight tbh. He cried when that fat wrestler "hurt" his hand. Come on sean is a bully nothing bad ass abiut a bully.
I mean saying that is like saying construction workers are not hard and tough as nails. Construction workers whether civilian or military has to be the toughest specialities there is. Specifically because of the work load for 1 and 2 how much they have to endure the elements like no other speciality
@@TheMexicanU.S.Marine The big dude was actually a very accomplished grappler, and used leverage and a move to torque the hell out of your shoulder and elbow joint. You can actually break someones arm cranking and ripping like that. With that being said Sean is an expert at fighting. SEALS Spec Ops experts in warfare and killing with weapons. Simple dunno why people can't grasp this.
I've heard that Marines are, pound for pound, the BEST fighters in the American military regarding unarmed combat. I've heard MCMAP is no joke. But that being said, even a marine would get tooled up by an MMA fighter in the Octagon.
All the men I know who are real life savages in combat are the most humble guys you’ll ever meet, any time I see shit like this it automatically screams phony.

For anybody that follows UFC, lightweight contender Benoit San Denis (former French SAS nickname God of War) when he was a relatively green fighter took an absolutely savage beating at UFC 267. The ref who refused to stop the fight has never reffed another fight in his life and for good reason. Benoits heart and his toughness was never in question. But he didn’t have the skill at the time to do anything more than say I didn’t quit. Big respect to him tho, not only because of his former career taking out terrorists, but after taking that beating, he continued to put all his time, effort, dedication into fighting (which was impossible b4) and is now deservedly one of the best lightweights in the world.
Come on man "one of the best" the lightweight division is absolutely without question the most stacked Benoit is maybe top 15-20 range literally anyone within the top 8 are legitimate champion material and he wouldn't beat Olivera Garthje Porier Holloway or Michael Chandler plus you have to consider even if he cracks the top 5 he'll will never beat Islam Makhachev he's a great fighter with a lot of potential but he's in the most competitive relentless division the UFC has probably ever seen but who knows iron sharpens iron he could shock the world
Mirko "Crocop" Filipovic joined the Croation military when he was 19. But his passion was martial arts and is a legend in the kickboxing and MMA world. I believe that no man should be underestimated regardless of their profession. It's what's in that man's heart and mind that makes him capable in applying the knowledge he has received.
I dig how you don't pull any punches bro. Former 1-15 INF. Also over 20 years of BJJ and Boxing (competing). It's annoying to talk to civilians that think that SOF guys have this magical power. Unless they train on their own time, they are tough and athletic, nothing more (hands on).
“I’m good at one thing, so I am good at all things. Especially your thing.” - is what ego, narcissism, and decades of hero worship will warp someone into thinking is actually a reasonable expectation.
I am not in the military. But I have shy of 30 years of martial arts training in several arts. For a long stretch of my years it was normal for me to train 2 hours a day 5-6 days a week. Pro fighters put in even more hours. With that said, I was shocked by how few hours of hand to hand combat are required in military organizations compared to the average martial arts hobbyist.
@@AdrianCaraveo-fx1fkno they are not. They do NOT train to beat people up. So they'll never ever win against trained fighters where that's all the do is train to fight hand to hand combat. Military doesn't train to fight hand to hand, they get trained to kill. They get a few classes on fighting hand to hand combat, but that's literally it. They get a few hours a year training what MMA guys do. I don't understand why this is so hard to understand
@@AdrianCaraveo-fx1fkso no, they are not any different. There is only so much time and energy to train for certain things, they use that limited time and energy and focus on things that would actually benefit them, like anything combat related. Combat hand to hand combat is to just teach you how to take out the average soldier or civilian, and they teach you how to kill them.
@@joshuablair252yes. They most definitely are different. Just because you can’t cut the mustard doesn’t mean they can’t. The jelly runs deep within you 😂
@@smyers820gmsir with all due respect they aren’t different if anything delta guys you can walk past in a home depot and won’t know who they are because that’s how they roll. tom spooner who is one of the most famous and honorable delta guys even states that they are good at what they do and that’s it. it’s like conor mcgregor vs floyd maywhether. both elite at what they do but when conor mcgregor fought floyd maywhether in a boxing match he got destroyed. because it’s two DIFFERENT arts! Also andy stumph who was a navy seal and in devgru said that the seals need to STFU!! don’t believe me look it up
@kingkazuma2239 ? No rules just means the UFC champion is at a huge advantage in hand to hand fighring. Think about it, if a UFC champion were in a true fight to the death, they'd have all their professional skills and presumably be conditioned for one on one fights. Now add the fact that they can fight as dirty as they want and do literally anything to win. Im not hating on seals but without weapons I think they'd struggle horribly.
Hello. Marine Vet here and a boxer. I really appreciate how you keep it real. Its true, going to Boot, or BUDs, or Delta. Does not make a person BRUCE LEE. Thank you for this much needed reality check.
I appreciate the blunt & professional perspective that you incorporate in your videos. Just happened to stumble upon your channel & I'm glad that I did.
I love the "in a street fight argument" as if the streets give some mystical power. It sounds like the guy that gets winded going up the stairs talks about seeing red.
@@earlhildebrand As someone who used to get into a kot of street fights due to my profession, I can tell you they are. It is at all the same. You can even see it in combat sports. Put an MMA guy in a boxing ring or a Boxer in an octagon and you see how poor they do, due to rules and restrictions they're not used to. There are also many variables in a street fight and I'll use several examples... 01: There is no mat. A fight often times end when someone hits the floor. And death is even a real possibility. 02: Lack of gloves. Gloves allow you to transfer kinetic energy at a much higher force. Since you damage your hands. You start pulling your punches immediately. So, an MMA fighter won't be able to rely on them. Also, damaged hands means they can be disabled. 03: People fear great bodily injuries, death and lawsuits. And in fights, you see people think about those real quick. Since there is no referee to intervene. 04: Gouging and bitting. Those do far more damage then people realize. Both physically & psychologically. 05: Weapons & random objects. Guns, knives, glass, sticks, rocks, bricks, glass bottles, etc. 06: You revert to what you're trained to do. So, all those rules and restrictions in combat sports will be hindering. With all that said. Strickland is a big dude. And he can take hits better then most MMA guys. Those two big factors that determine a street fight. Even in combat sports, there are weight classes.
Hmm depends people typically fight like they train so they can have weird gaps in their defense that can be exploited but unless you've trained to exploit that weakness and know when and how to get it to open up your going to get folded almost every time.
I usually carry a knife or a gun with me when I'm out and about. I would never do that in a dojo or boxing ring. That's usually the difference. Martial Arts is a much more controlled environment, where people in street fights are just lunatics. Couldn't beat a pro fighter though.
I'm a brown belt in bjj. And there is one guy in our gym who used to be a Marine. He's very tough mentally. While he's not a match for me (he's a blue belt), he's very good and beats a lot of people just because of his mental fortitude. Mental toughness is very good for fighting, but it's not going to enable you to beat a top tier fighter.
Great comment. I myself am in that boat, I have been training for a long time, and am much bigger stronger and faster than most people I train with, and I still get dismantled by guys at higher skill level who are significantly smaller than me, that’s the reality of real combat sports.
@@ValhallaVFThad a chance to meet and learn how to sprawl from Jarrod brooks(the monkey god) ... Nobody ever took him down and he was intense but he's awesome. The gap is definitely VERY wide
Absolute respect to that SEAL for showing up and not giving up. Also it is very telling. A SEAL, like all SF, is good at taking punishment, being sleep deprived, killing enemy, staying alive in a combat zone etc. If Strickland was in that environment he wouldn't survive, or he would get people killed. Prize fighting is a completely different game. Where, as demonstrated, the SEAL is in an environment where they can't win. For comparison look at Boxing. Gene Tunney, Ken Norton and Rocky Marciano have been practically the only ones to perform excellently after learning their trade in the Military. Many others tried and failed. Two completely different spheres.
Lmao that first one was "Frogman tactical", he has a youtube channel and made a video where he also challenged Lucas Botkin to a literal fight to the death for like no reason. His ego appears to be quite fragile and his identity is still wrapped up with the Seal Teams even at his age.
Despite being like 99.99% ideologically similar too. Froggy just thinks he's the final word on anything shooting, tactical, combatives as a white side seal.
Frogman Tactical challenged me, because I stuck up for some viewer he insulted. I accepted and he kept taking my comment down. I told him leave it on or the challenge is off. Let your viewers see the truth.
Been in "street fights" and altercations on top of also being a former mma fighter, can confirm that dealing with a less trained opponent in the street is much easier than another fighter, except for the possibility of a weapon. If I took any of the light weights I knew and threw them in with a navy seal while blindfolded, my money is on the light weight fighters. Sure, if you put a navy seal against the average joe with no training, the navy seal woild probably win just due to the fact that they're a trained athlete with at least a little bit of hand to hand training.
Im new to this channel I fucking love this guy; deff humble af. Real ass dude right here. Get this man on the Mike Ritland podcast. Im former army and current LEO - the ego of military/law enforcement community is insane!
Just came across your channel sir. Wow ! Seriously the straight talk and sincerity is very commendable! I take this guy to be a gentle quiet killer! He knows his capabilities and his limits! Thanks for your service and I salute you!
This reminds me of something I watched a little of on TH-cam a couple years back. It basically was a tough man competition rules type setup where they had only military personnel from different branches and countries fight each other. It wasn’t much to watch and the reputations of the outfits these guys were from weren’t represented by this well. Like an Air Force guy beat a Russian special forces guy or something. It also reminds me of when we did a base wide PT competition at Leonard wood and the marines smoked everyone at pull-ups but got blown out in sit-ups and the run was pretty even. Nice video. First time viewer. Subscribed.
I think Sean Strickland in a street fight with “no rules” would probably make him even more dangerous. You can tie Sean’s strong hand behind his back and these guys probably couldn’t stand a chance
@@ValhallaVFT I thought that was just a postwar ODA 1116 thing. I'm pretty sure there wasn't a single A team in Vietnam over 3 digits. My guess is it was designed by someone who at one point was in SOG sometime after the war. But that's a guess.
@@boringdude1626 we used it as our oda logo as well to pay homage to their unit, they sponsored our ODA on our deployment and we had some gifts made for them and vice versa.
Mitch a professional fighter with 19 fights but there are levels to every game. One the other hand the this started with saying no navy seal could survive training with him for a week. That part is laughable
Sean would not have a chance to perform as well as a professional assassin as a navy seal in combat, just as a seal will not perform well with a professional ufc fighter.
That's not a fair analogy Sean isn't the type to stab someone in the back or sneak in and kill them in their sleep he'd without question fight them face to face I get your point but he's not a guy to do anything quietly but I will say he's not the type to break or quit he suffered for years mentally and physically from his abusive father he's been through hell just a different version of hell he wouldn't break from training or mental stress
Spend a few years in a mma gym near military heavy area and you learn real quick they may be tough, but alot of them can't scrap like that. Our gym was military friendly, the owner was a marine. We had one former seal who started training there, he wasn't a good fighter but good lord he did not give up. Grappling him was like fighting off a rape, but his fighting knowledge was still like any other white belt. He was just tough mentally, which was to be expected, and fit as hell.
It's kind on eerie how history repeats itself when it comes to military members challenging the gladiators/fighters of their time. Roman legionnaires would occasionally fight a gladiator in the arena in hand to hand and it very rarely ever went well for the legionnaires, same as today with any SOF vs professional MMA fighters in a hand to hand situation.
I don’t know why they think they can. Just like your legionnaire vs gladiators example, the legionnaire is trained to fight in a formation and a gladiator is trained to fight other gladiators. The advantage is obvious.
Gladiators are slaves who fight for nothing but their own survival, but legionnaires have seen, felt, endured emotions and trials with more on the line than the gladiator could ever hope to be able to deal with.
Thank you army I am a former US Marine. You are on the money here me Marines! By the time I was in boot camp I was a golden gloves boxer so line training was a joke😂 I had to explain to my fellow recruits that its not tough guy its training and discipline. Time and focus better spent on the rifle range.
Common sense, humbleness, straight forward talk ,along with the respect you’ve earned in service of this country gained my subscription. Thank you sir.
Just came across your channel sir. Wow ! Seriously the straight talk and sincerity is very commendable! I take this guy to be a gentle quiet killer! He knows his capabilities and his limits! Thanks for your service and I salute you! This humble man must be an amazing instructor!
Great video brother. Good calling those dudes out. I’ve been trying to do the same on my channel. I like how you handle it professionally it’s apparent you are trying your best not to be bias. It’s hard when the SEALS do so many unprofessional things in public.
Mitch Aguiar not only trains but has fought amateur and professionally for years in smaller organizations. So he's not delusional like some of these other Seals talking shit. My guess is that he just felt pressured to step up and represent the Seal community. He knew he wasn't going to beat Strickland and just wanted to test himself. Real fighters aren't afraid to spar with bigger and better fighters because that's how you get better.
From what he said he already knew Sean a little bit from a few previous meetings and thought it would be a good hype thing for both of them to do it. He also straight up said that he did it to promote his brand of workout stuff after having multiple Instagram business accounts shut down for bs. He also said he absolutely no delusions that he would win at all and knew it was going to suck he just wanted to not quit lol
Of all the SOF units I served with and all the SOF training I’ve been through, NONE of that shit compared to how I grew up or even the civilian life challenges. Sorry. Proud of my service but I can tell the guys who had a tough life and those who were looking for a challenge and joined the military.
The seal said that he fought Sean for expirience only as he had the opportunity to fight a ufc champion. But the red t shirt guy has no value on that specific matter as he is not only a scam but the worst tactical seal instructor on the internet
That seal mitch is act a pro mma fighter and jj black belt outside of his military career so its not just a non trained guy vs sean .. that said still dumb idea 😂
Ain’t no way Did all that stuff, 1/75, time down range, tired to turn pro in MMA back when there were no weight classes….. the gap between being handy and being a pro is to large to routinely overcome
I agree that anyone outside of a profession, electrician, plumber, UFC fighter, etc., should let the professionals do their thing and pipe down. No journeyman wants to hear a customer tell them how to do their job.
Great video sir I live you honesty and professionalism and yes type the real deal tought guys are the quiet one that doe's broad cast themed as badly assess
The thing is you are absolutely correct unless it is the service members preference to workouts off duty. Just because you were SOF or Infantry does not mean we can take on UFC fighters without even more extensive training, pertaining to martial arts. I think regardless we have our own stuff to be proud of as veterans. Of course my word to the wise for any former ground pounder or current looking at MMA, you're good at your thing and so are the people running the gym; listen to them and learn like you did in service.
Gone are the days of when SEALs kept quiet about being a SEAL. I remember reading about a former SEAL in the 80s and was stationed in Virginia Beach that when they were asked what they did for a living, they used the cover that they were skydivers for Coors.
Props to former SEAL Andy Stumpf for also calling these guys out. I believe his words were - “They need to STFU” Not including Mitch Aguiar, he’s a very humble and respected dude in the MMA world. He’s not afraid of failing and getting humbled by professionals that are better then him. He’s a great guy and would encourage folks to give him a follow. 💯🤙
Every clip I see of Andy Stumpf being asked about BUDS, his eyes roll to the back of his head and he ALWAYS emphasize to ''BASIC'' Underwater Demolition/SEAL Training.
Hey I've always had a ton of respect for you guys. Wasn't aware of this conflict between seals and Strickland. I hope other operators have the sense you do. You guys are total badasses at what you do, but ur specialty isn't hand to hand combat. As you stated. UFC fighters are specialists at what they do. Total respect for this video. Glad you made it.
I’m ex Military, I’ll leave it at that, their isn’t one Seal who could beat up ANY MMA fighter, I love Seals, but they’re clueless as to how badass these UFC guys are.
This os ridiculous brother. I am 6ft 1 215 pounds would not attempt to fight a UFC fighter. I would go to my EDC if they wanted to fight me. You are right on point with this and the Seals on another controversy. Another great video.
Ok., I have to say, not sure how I came across your video but I’m glad I did. You are a realist. We are alike in a lot of ways. Only one big difference. I’m a Marine. Lol. Appreciate your service bro. New fan
I don’t think that SEAL ever went into that sparring match with the intentions of winning and why would we? He’s not a pro fighter and he knows that. I don’t even know why he got in there but SF guys are a little crazy and being in there for 25 minutes is probably a lot easier than most training he’s ever had to do so why not? It was a once in a lifetime experience! Most guys running their mouth on the internet don’t have the balls to do what he did so good for him!
Enjoyed your take here and in other videos. You mentioned that you are a self-defense instructor. For lack of a better term, what style/system do you teach? Thanks.
All my curriculum is weapons based, I turn my students to some of my buddies that are martial arts experts who are looking for hand to hand based training.
Thank You for the Facts of this Situation! WAR does change people and my friend sounded like the "We Take SOULS for Real Bro!" Guy but After Coning Back He NEVER Had Tone Again! Strickland don't give respect 4 free and I Like him nonetheless and I Sub You. You Utter LEGEND! XOXO from Norway
Happy 4th bro! Is going into the guard at 28 a bad idea? I’m going 68w, but my dad was ranger qualified (not ranger battalion, he was 14th infantry brigade). I’ve heard back then they were pushing for for one man to be ranger qualified in every squad in the army. I’m going guard regardless, but does being ranger qualified mean the same now as it did then? He got out a few months before 9/11, and when he couldn’t get a combat deployment after discharge, he told the army to eff off
Sure Navy Seals can beat UFC or Bellator or any MMA fighter, and sometimes vice versa. Here's a short list: 1. Under their rules and regulation, if a navy seal and soldier has some martial arts and hand to hand training, and fights in the environment of the MMA fighter, chances are higher that the Navy Seal person would lose more than win those fights as those fights favors the MMA fighter. 2. If the MMA fighter fought under rules by Navy Seals, or participated in their hell week training, chances are higher that the MMA fighter wouldn't keep up. 3. Navy Seals has many ways of severely injuring and killing MMA fighters. We're talking about snipers, drive bys, planted bombs, missile strikes, use of grenades, use of knives, many other weapons used and many more about lethal force. In this sense the Navy Seals actually destroys MMA fighters like this, there's no question. 4. People who are right wing, white, young male suburban, too long in the internet cheerleading Navy Seals or MMA fighters, all who are fanboys of Eddie Bravo or Joe Rogan, these types are delusional in thinking MMA fighters have any chance at all in surviving Navy Seal attacks. Are delusional and in deep denial of reality riding the jocks of Joe Rogan and even Sean Strickland! That's what's been fueling this back and forth and it's honestly disappointing.
@@NPC-fl3gq I'm delusional in thinking that a UFC fighter will get killed so many times when Navy Seals use weapons like knives, guns, machine guns, bombs, drone strikes, artillery fire, Gatling guns, RPGs, grenades, tactical missile strikes, sniper fire??? Like I said, hand to hand combat UFC fighters would win more times, but actual combats involving weapons Navy Seals, not just one but a full decked out team, will kill your favorite MMA fighter. Name any MMA fighter you want, and the Navy Seals will kill them just like that, broad daylight or past midnight in pitch dark, in any weather conditions. How am I deluded in thinking that? Explain my apparent delusion,
@@danielnelson3136 Because you're taking the argument to the most extreme position possible. This is no different than me saying an astronaut is tougher than a seal because the astronaut can drop an anvil out of a space station into a seals head. If you need to take your argument to an extreme to win an argument, then you've already lost the argument.
@ValhallaVFT Hi Nate, thank you for your service to our country and the interesting content you put out! I had a question for you regarding a recent video I saw Mike Edwards, (im sure you are aware but he is a retired Ranger that was in RRC) put out. He had said that green berets don’t get the funding like the rangers or other SF groups in the different branches receive - *** I want to be clear he was not being contentious or anything like that and also I don’t mean this question as anything other than trying to learn your experience***. I was just curious as to what your experience was while in service and how tough it was in procuring gear or other resources you needed? Appreciate your insight, maybe an idea for a video - war fighters like yourself that the nation calls on to complete the most difficult operations and if you felt during your time in the green berets like you have all the resources at your disposal to do so? Thanks again Nate! And god damn man you are a big fella!
Depends what you mean by the funding. We are the largest SOF unit, we are actively deployed in 80+ countries at all times. As for TOTAL funding, we’re substantially higher than everyone else. On a unit to unit basis, maybe not per capita.
Ahhhhh man not Frogman Tactical... I like his channel... hahahaha As someone who was in competitive Muay Thai and San Da for about 10 years in addition to having served USAF SFS (mp) I can say the egos in the military despite being bigger than the calves of some of the fighters I've gone against definitely don't hit nearly as hard!
Yeah that guy is too tough for his own good. He's second guessing his decision after taking all those leg kicks for sure. Even the old seals are acting like they can beat a ufc champ. Thabk you for being a realist and speaking the truth. Frogman tactical will probably want to fight you next lmao
Mitch has a supplement company that was nearly destroyed by him speaking out against the tyrannical covid overlords, I believe this was a marketing strategy on his part cause the whole internet is now talking about it. pretty genius if you ask me
I was curious about the title because I wasn’t tracking the SEAL saying he’d chew another grown man’s face off. 😂😂 Some of these SEALs seem to have less awareness about the fight game and levels of it than regular people. 😅
@@alexferrana3979 look im a former SOF medic, and I used to box and wrestle as a teenager. I could handle my own, but these professional fighters are light years ahead of all people. Just like if I tried to compare myself to an experienced trauma surgeon, there really is no comparison.
agree with all the points you made in this clip, but your humility is so damn honorable… and you’re no joke yourself being a green beret. my utmost respect to you🙌🏻
The first clip is so bad. I remember watching a video from him where he talked about active shooters and I figured it’d be great knowledge coming from someone like him. I had to click away when he said he’d have no problem shooting innocent people that have guns and are trying to protect themselves because they’re (to paraphrase) just as dangerous because they’re untrained. Then he showed drills where people run down range while you’re shooting. Delusion.
update: one of the seals that called sean out backtracked on what he said and just started babbling about using "the great equalizer" (a gun) in the "real world" lmfao
Where?? Or be like this Green Beret and sit behind as a screen and make videos about it “I’m a coach, me do badass things”.. Dude looking at your age you later one enlistment or commission and quit

“I drove trucks in the Army, so of course I could beat Lewis Hamilton on the race track.”
I was thinking of the analogy of SOF operators that conducted mobile security operations thinking they could beat pro drivers in racing. So ignorant and arrogant at the same time. Humans are specialists. Any competent operator should know that.
Lol, good one. Exactly my point.
Something to be said about "The Quiet Professionals". When i was a kid, my Dad would take me to a bar on Christmas Eve, every year, and we would sit on stools next to my Grandfather. My Grandad hated Christmas, would never be at home with Grandma and the dog. I never knew why. He would just sit and sip beer all night. Decades later, after I have served multiple combat tours, I found out he was actually in The Battle Of The Bulge. I finally understood........people that have been there and done that, dont like to talk about it, they just want to be left alone. God Bless you Pops. I miss you
It depends, with my line of work, i met plenty of special ops guys and i am good friends with a few. They won't divulge things out in the open for eveyone to know but once yok get to know them, some like to speak about their experiences and some do not.
My Dad was also in The Battle Of The Bulge. 82nd Airborne. He told very few stories of the war.
My grandfather was there with the 106th. He also didn't talk about it, my grandma has said that the only time he ever talked about the war was when speaking to others who had also fought in the war
Damn, no battle in ww2 would have been fun by any means but the battle of the bulge definitely would have been a brutal battle to fight in, in a war riddled with unbelievable brutality and death.
Is the battle of the bulge a group of men seeing who can fit their bulge in your grandmother?
Not sure what peoples deal is thinking a street fight with “no rules” is going to go down any different then in the cage, 9/10 it’ll make Sean even more dangerous
Everyone who thinks that has never been in a street fight.
They also forget that the UFC fighter wouldn't be restricted by rules either 😂😂😂
@@saiyanninjawarriorz ya it’s literally an advantage for the trained fighter lol.
Rules are the only thing that saved the SEALS life in that cage.
To play devils advocate, for everyone in this thread; a sambo player might have the edge on an amateur mma player in a violent playing for keeps type of street fight.
“Yea but in the street there’s no rules”. Logically that just means the better trained guy can fuck you up even worse
Unless you’re someone “who sees red and bodies just hit the floor” like the guy in the first clip.
@@ValhallaVFTspeaking facts sir😂
Hard to fight with 1 or 2 broken arms or legs
“I will chew your face off”
“You think imma just sit there and let you kill me jon?”
Plus Sean is the sort of guy who might actually chew on your face if he didn’t like you. 😂
My BJJ instructor was a Navy SEAL. He never said he could defeat MMA fighters.
Mitch Aguiar is the SEAL that stepped into the ring with Sean. He is a professional MMA fighter himself and a solid dude. He said himself that he knew there was no beating Sean but he just wanted to see if he could last the sparring match. He got his ass beat for the full 25 min (Sean could have ended it as soon as they started but said he didn't want to knock him out), but took it like a man and was super humble about the whole thing from the start. He ate a head kick at the end that would make most dudes take a dirt nap for a while. Earned Sean's respect as well as many others for hopping into the ring even though he knew the odds weren't in his favor at all. Kudos Mitch
Mitch looks out of shape, last time he fought was 3-4 years.
@@markusstolac3664 True, but hes also probably still in better shape than 90% of the US population
@@markusstolac3664 no, he's in good shape, just not competition shape (which includes cutting weight...he cuts about 40 lbs). He says he's been competing in Jits only now.
Retired 18Z here, ODA 522 and 026. 6'4" 240lbs. VFT speaks the truth. In 22 years, 1/2 as a paratrooper 82nd and 509th, I received a few hours a year of hand to hand. The only one I remember specifically was a class given during MOUT tng in Bonnland. It was excellent because the instructors were outstanding and humorous. Back in the day, we called SEALS California cowboys, and I'm sure they called us names too. The strength of an A Team is not in its individual members but as a group. Take 12 UFC fighters in hand to hand with an ODA, and it's Custer's last stand. But take those same UFC and plop them down in the empty quarter of Oman or the jungles of Panama and have them stand up a fighting force of locals, ain't happening. God made man, and Colt made him equal.
No doubt, obvious different strength. Put 12 UFC fighters in the woods against 12 armed SF dudes and you’ll end up with 12 dead fighters, but in the cage is obviously opposite. Nothing wrong with acknowledging reality.
Respect for your service. I think Strickland got pissed off mostly because Goggins got a great Ufc fighter with mental issues who was way gone past his prime to say the least and who was at the lowest possible point in his carrer physically and mentally. His training run his beat up body to the ground instead of Tony getting the right mma training honing his skills in a real mma gym. Goggins should have stayed in his lane running untrained people to death.
Strickland should not have included other seals but I guess they can not help trying to tell the whole world how tough they were fighting guys in sandals with Ak's while they had air support, intelligence, tanks, missiles etc. I do not see any black rock type of guys on the front lines in Ukraine
not sure who asked?
ur comparing apples to oranges. thats like saying my mechanic cant fix people and my dr cant fix a car. lol
@@ValhallaVFT good luck against me in the woods
I got into a street fight when I was in the Marines. I thought I was a badass MCMAP warrior. I don't remember the fight at all however, when I woke up back inside the bar and asked what was going on I was promptly told "You just got KTFO, we need to leave".
Lol. Ya reality check comes for us all at some point or another.
was it in hawaii? i grew up hating service members to joining the Corps in my early 20s.
Yeah, when I joined an MMA gym my kickboxing coach was a former Marine and I was Army. He said he envied our program because it closely resembled actual fighting compared to MCMAP. I train now and it’s much harder than what I did in the military in regard to hand to hand combat. Not in the same realm. I respect Marines a ton but a lot of them let that title go to their heads when it comes to fighting.
@@kekistani2373 Kailua! Right outside MCBH.
What is MCMAP m
Seals arnt trained to the degree of a professional fighter, just as a professional fighter isn't trained to be a seal. Apples and oranges
Is it me, or did Chris Kyle mark the beginning of SEALS needing public acclaim/attention? GBs and Delta are way more low key and tight-lipped.
High school never ends
In Ranger school, they do like an hour long “hand to hand” combat pit where everyone essentially rolls with a partner and then switches partners repeatedly..I just remember trying to conserve energy and faking it with my partners lol
The old SERE school technique, used it throughout my time in the Q course
@@nichfol that’s really not a lot compared to many martial art hobbyists. Most local mma schools have open mat days. Come in and spar for 3-4 hours straight, with 5 minute rounds, so you’re constantly having to move. Can be striking, grappling, or both. I’ve been to some where you had to do 100 pushups between each round. Some schools are open to other arts, so boxer, karate, kung fu show up… or people do weapons. I personally like going empty handed against weapons. Dedicated hobbyists might put in 3-16 hrs a week of training. They could have 5-20+ years under their belt… and still be humble enough to be a forever student.
@@ajaniwinston8117 that’s exactly my point, military hand to hand stuff is essentially non existent so I always find it silly when guys start talking g shit to people who train for a living or free time haha
So that was Mitch Aguilar. He fought in a local MMA Org while in the Teams won two titles but that’s the difference between elite striker and not. Props to Mitch for stepping in there in no way am I talking shit about him. He’s a big dude just Sean is a elite
No knock on him, it’s just a demonstration proving my point how moronic the other clips are. If a dude that’s Sean’s size and a trained fighter got absolutely dismantled, imagine any of those other dudes.
@@ValhallaVFT no I agree with you 1000% that must off came across wrong was more just adding to you saying Mitch looks like he trains. He does runs his own mma and fitness gym even has a supplement brand. But I whole hardly agree with you👊🏼.

I mostly agree, but plenty of seals got killed by teenagers in flip flops over in the middle east, so even with guns they're not invincible.

Again I know you are trying to be humble, but saying Highly trained military KILLERS “can’t fight” is just HIGHLY misleading and undermining their skill as a professional SOLDIER/WARRIOR 😅……. All due respect sir 🫡 🏴☠️🇺🇸🦅
🏴☠️We wouldn’t start a fight, but we would f ucking finish it🇺🇸 “UFC FIGHTER” or not. I don’t give a G ODDAM who they are.
I am a humble person but I don’t like people discrediting OUR skill as TACTICAL PROFESSIONAL WARRIORS. 🏴☠️
Exactly it’s the quiet humble ones you have to worry about, all due respect I don’t think some “ring fighter” would have a f ucking chance in H3LL against someone who trains for Military combat operations NON STOP like you guys do in the US ARMY. Being humble is great, but that doesn’t mean we would get our a$$ handed to us by some fighter. We are TACTICAL WARRIORS not pro fighters, there is a BIG DIFFERENCE, I think that’s what frogman actual was trying to convey as “cringe” as it was. And in the USMC, we are starting to mix Brazilian Jui Jitsu and MMA and JUDO 🥋 into the Marine Corps Martial Arts program like that Shallow water BJJ is a perfect example. I don’t see any of those guys doing that in the ring f ucks sakes, because you know we train for survival, not to tap in the ring for money.
All due respect sir, I know you are trying to be humble to appeal to a wider audience but we would f ucking WASTE these TV screen Hollywood “warriors” if one of them started $hit with us
We don’t get paid 100k when we FAIL 😂 we pay with OUR LIVES that’s the difference. Idk what combatives they teach in the Green Berets ALL DUE RESPECT but you would probably f ucking annihilate Strickland if you had to, I personally didn’t train all my life to become a TACTICAL PROFESSIONAL to be punked by some “ring fighter” 😂 ALL DUE RESPECT sir…….I just don’t give a flying F UCK who you are and we train in martial arts our entire military career and even before that. I would consider myself humble as well but that doesn’t mean we would lose to one of these “TV RING FIGHTERS” I swear on my life if they started a fight with us, they would regret it instantly. I know you are trying to be humble but I just felt a DIRE NEED to make that point.
We don’t start fights, we finish them. Semper fi 🏴☠️🇺🇸🦅 honestly guys like you are the last people anyone wants to f ucking underestimate, I don’t care how many times they tap for money in a g oddamn ring…..All those guys you served with ARE HUMBLE as well as all of the people I know in the military. But we wouldn’t hesitate to put someone in their f ucking place if they decided to start some $hit with the wrong people. Which is guys like you and the SAVAGES you served with, and the savages I am going into the USMC Infantry with.

For anybody that follows UFC, lightweight contender Benoit San Denis (former French SAS nickname God of War) when he was a relatively green fighter took an absolutely savage beating at UFC 267. The ref who refused to stop the fight has never reffed another fight in his life and for good reason. Benoits heart and his toughness was never in question. But he didn’t have the skill at the time to do anything more than say I didn’t quit.
Big respect to him tho, not only because of his former career taking out terrorists, but after taking that beating, he continued to put all his time, effort, dedication into fighting (which was impossible b4) and is now deservedly one of the best lightweights in the world.
Come on man "one of the best" the lightweight division is absolutely without question the most stacked Benoit is maybe top 15-20 range literally anyone within the top 8 are legitimate champion material and he wouldn't beat Olivera Garthje Porier Holloway or Michael Chandler plus you have to consider even if he cracks the top 5 he'll will never beat Islam Makhachev he's a great fighter with a lot of potential but he's in the most competitive relentless division the UFC has probably ever seen but who knows iron sharpens iron he could shock the world
@@robbmorrison7759 He’s ranked at #12 and that’s coming off of a loss to Dustin frickin Poirier. No shame in that
"The ref who refused to stop the fight "
let me guess...Steve Mazzagatti?
There is no French SAS. It's British.
Funny thing is he head kick KOed Matt Frevola. A US Army vet.
Strickland is a hell of a lot better at endurance than Goggins is at MMA lol.
Mirko "Crocop" Filipovic joined the Croation military when he was 19. But his passion was martial arts and is a legend in the kickboxing and MMA world. I believe that no man should be underestimated regardless of their profession. It's what's in that man's heart and mind that makes him capable in applying the knowledge he has received.
Yes he was special forces, operated in an anti-terrorist unit.
As a former amateur fighter, the singular aspect that non-fighters don't understand is that true fighting is a skill/talent, just like anything else.
Most people have no idea the depth of fighting at all.
@@brojitsu Most people have no _need to know_ about the depth of fighting at all.
@@tappajaav true
Thank you for uploading this, a lot of people don't understand how good even the lowest ranked ufc fighter is, they really are on a different level.
I dig how you don't pull any punches bro. Former 1-15 INF. Also over 20 years of BJJ and Boxing (competing). It's annoying to talk to civilians that think that SOF guys have this magical power. Unless they train on their own time, they are tough and athletic, nothing more (hands on).
“I’m good at one thing, so I am good at all things. Especially your thing.” - is what ego, narcissism, and decades of hero worship will warp someone into thinking is actually a reasonable expectation.
I am not in the military. But I have shy of 30 years of martial arts training in several arts. For a long stretch of my years it was normal for me to train 2 hours a day 5-6 days a week. Pro fighters put in even more hours. With that said, I was shocked by how few hours of hand to hand combat are required in military organizations compared to the average martial arts hobbyist.
Bragging about killing people is the most psychopathic shit I’ve seen in quite a while
Who did that?
@@kriswright33967:26
I actually had dudes tell me that green berets or any special operators could beat up a ufc fighter😂😂😂😂, the delusion is something else.
Yeah but delta guys and those very hardcore secretive forces are different though
@@AdrianCaraveo-fx1fkno they are not.
They do NOT train to beat people up.
So they'll never ever win against trained fighters where that's all the do is train to fight hand to hand combat.
Military doesn't train to fight hand to hand, they get trained to kill.
They get a few classes on fighting hand to hand combat, but that's literally it.
They get a few hours a year training what MMA guys do.
I don't understand why this is so hard to understand
@@AdrianCaraveo-fx1fkso no, they are not any different.
There is only so much time and energy to train for certain things, they use that limited time and energy and focus on things that would actually benefit them, like anything combat related.
Combat hand to hand combat is to just teach you how to take out the average soldier or civilian, and they teach you how to kill them.
@@joshuablair252yes. They most definitely are different. Just because you can’t cut the mustard doesn’t mean they can’t. The jelly runs deep within you 😂
@@smyers820gmsir with all due respect they aren’t different if anything delta guys you can walk past in a home depot and won’t know who they are because that’s how they roll. tom spooner who is one of the most famous and honorable delta guys even states that they are good at what they do and that’s it. it’s like conor mcgregor vs floyd maywhether. both elite at what they do but when conor mcgregor fought floyd maywhether in a boxing match he got destroyed. because it’s two DIFFERENT arts! Also andy stumph who was a navy seal and in devgru said that the seals need to STFU!! don’t believe me look it up
Only way a navy seal is gonna win against Sean Strickland is if they have a gun.
Problem solved.
Or just no rules at all
@@kingkazuma2239without the gun it’s going to end the same, rules or no rules
Wrong lol@@kingkazuma2239
@kingkazuma2239 ? No rules just means the UFC champion is at a huge advantage in hand to hand fighring. Think about it, if a UFC champion were in a true fight to the death, they'd have all their professional skills and presumably be conditioned for one on one fights.
Now add the fact that they can fight as dirty as they want and do literally anything to win.
Im not hating on seals but without weapons I think they'd struggle horribly.
Hello. Marine Vet here and a boxer. I really appreciate how you keep it real. Its true, going to Boot, or BUDs, or Delta. Does not make a person BRUCE LEE. Thank you for this much needed reality check.
I appreciate the blunt & professional perspective that you incorporate in your videos. Just happened to stumble upon your channel & I'm glad that I did.
I love the "in a street fight argument" as if the streets give some mystical power. It sounds like the guy that gets winded going up the stairs talks about seeing red.
@@earlhildebrand As someone who used to get into a kot of street fights due to my profession, I can tell you they are. It is at all the same.
You can even see it in combat sports. Put an MMA guy in a boxing ring or a Boxer in an octagon and you see how poor they do, due to rules and restrictions they're not used to.
There are also many variables in a street fight and I'll use several examples...
01: There is no mat. A fight often times end when someone hits the floor. And death is even a real possibility.
02: Lack of gloves. Gloves allow you to transfer kinetic energy at a much higher force. Since you damage your hands. You start pulling your punches immediately. So, an MMA fighter won't be able to rely on them. Also, damaged hands means they can be disabled.
03: People fear great bodily injuries, death and lawsuits. And in fights, you see people think about those real quick. Since there is no referee to intervene.
04: Gouging and bitting. Those do far more damage then people realize. Both physically & psychologically.
05: Weapons & random objects. Guns, knives, glass, sticks, rocks, bricks, glass bottles, etc.
06: You revert to what you're trained to do. So, all those rules and restrictions in combat sports will be hindering.
With all that said. Strickland is a big dude. And he can take hits better then most MMA guys. Those two big factors that determine a street fight. Even in combat sports, there are weight classes.
Hmm depends people typically fight like they train so they can have weird gaps in their defense that can be exploited but unless you've trained to exploit that weakness and know when and how to get it to open up your going to get folded almost every time.
@@jarethpalmer8672 Amen.
On the streets, firearms, blades, and groups of friends are involved. Lets not be stupid
I usually carry a knife or a gun with me when I'm out and about. I would never do that in a dojo or boxing ring. That's usually the difference. Martial Arts is a much more controlled environment, where people in street fights are just lunatics. Couldn't beat a pro fighter though.
“I would chew your face off”😂😂buddys the big bad wolf
Yeah lmfao
This dude in first video is a very delusional man child.
I'm a brown belt in bjj. And there is one guy in our gym who used to be a Marine. He's very tough mentally. While he's not a match for me (he's a blue belt), he's very good and beats a lot of people just because of his mental fortitude. Mental toughness is very good for fighting, but it's not going to enable you to beat a top tier fighter.
Great comment. I myself am in that boat, I have been training for a long time, and am much bigger stronger and faster than most people I train with, and I still get dismantled by guys at higher skill level who are significantly smaller than me, that’s the reality of real combat sports.
@@ValhallaVFThad a chance to meet and learn how to sprawl from Jarrod brooks(the monkey god) ... Nobody ever took him down and he was intense but he's awesome. The gap is definitely VERY wide
Absolute respect to that SEAL for showing up and not giving up. Also it is very telling. A SEAL, like all SF, is good at taking punishment, being sleep deprived, killing enemy, staying alive in a combat zone etc. If Strickland was in that environment he wouldn't survive, or he would get people killed. Prize fighting is a completely different game. Where, as demonstrated, the SEAL is in an environment where they can't win. For comparison look at Boxing. Gene Tunney, Ken Norton and Rocky Marciano have been practically the only ones to perform excellently after learning their trade in the Military. Many others tried and failed. Two completely different spheres.
That's exactly what he was saying. Different skill sets.
@@mjames7674 I know mate. And utterly respect it👍👊
Lmao that first one was "Frogman tactical", he has a youtube channel and made a video where he also challenged Lucas Botkin to a literal fight to the death for like no reason. His ego appears to be quite fragile and his identity is still wrapped up with the Seal Teams even at his age.
Despite being like 99.99% ideologically similar too. Froggy just thinks he's the final word on anything shooting, tactical, combatives as a white side seal.
Frogman Tactical challenged me, because I stuck up for some viewer he insulted. I accepted and he kept taking my comment down. I told him leave it on or the challenge is off. Let your viewers see the truth.
Been in "street fights" and altercations on top of also being a former mma fighter, can confirm that dealing with a less trained opponent in the street is much easier than another fighter, except for the possibility of a weapon. If I took any of the light weights I knew and threw them in with a navy seal while blindfolded, my money is on the light weight fighters.
Sure, if you put a navy seal against the average joe with no training, the navy seal woild probably win just due to the fact that they're a trained athlete with at least a little bit of hand to hand training.
Im new to this channel
I fucking love this guy; deff humble af. Real ass dude right here. Get this man on the Mike Ritland podcast.
Im former army and current LEO - the ego of military/law enforcement community is insane!

I take this guy to be a gentle quiet killer!

Thanks for the kind words 🫡
This reminds me of something I watched a little of on TH-cam a couple years back. It basically was a tough man competition rules type setup where they had only military personnel from different branches and countries fight each other. It wasn’t much to watch and the reputations of the outfits these guys were from weren’t represented by this well. Like an Air Force guy beat a Russian special forces guy or something. It also reminds me of when we did a base wide PT competition at Leonard wood and the marines smoked everyone at pull-ups but got blown out in sit-ups and the run was pretty even. Nice video. First time viewer. Subscribed.
I think Sean Strickland in a street fight with “no rules” would probably make him even more dangerous. You can tie Sean’s strong hand behind his back and these guys probably couldn’t stand a chance
Is that a MACV-SOG patch in the background? Whats the story with that, probably the most badass patch of all time lol
My dad was a green beret in Vietnam, one of his close friends who was in MAC-V gave me that
@@ValhallaVFT Woah that's awesome craziest unit in history imo, I've read a few of their books just got Dynamites new one actually
@@ValhallaVFT I thought that was just a postwar ODA 1116 thing. I'm pretty sure there wasn't a single A team in Vietnam over 3 digits. My guess is it was designed by someone who at one point was in SOG sometime after the war. But that's a guess.
@@boringdude1626 we used it as our oda logo as well to pay homage to their unit, they sponsored our ODA on our deployment and we had some gifts made for them and vice versa.

Another navy seal embarrassing himself
I don’t mind the dude who was willing to at least get in the cage, but the other dudes talking shit, ya, cringe.
Mitch a professional fighter with 19 fights but there are levels to every game. One the other hand the this started with saying no navy seal could survive training with him for a week. That part is laughable
@@ValhallaVFTand Sean was barely even going at 20% during that “fight” imagine what he did if he went 100% against him
Also mitch and Sean ha e known each other for a long time
The SEAL won the match because Shawn’s goal was to make him quit and he didn’t.
Sean would not have a chance to perform as well as a professional assassin as a navy seal in combat, just as a seal will not perform well with a professional ufc fighter.
That's not a fair analogy Sean isn't the type to stab someone in the back or sneak in and kill them in their sleep he'd without question fight them face to face I get your point but he's not a guy to do anything quietly but I will say he's not the type to break or quit he suffered for years mentally and physically from his abusive father he's been through hell just a different version of hell he wouldn't break from training or mental stress
Spend a few years in a mma gym near military heavy area and you learn real quick they may be tough, but alot of them can't scrap like that. Our gym was military friendly, the owner was a marine. We had one former seal who started training there, he wasn't a good fighter but good lord he did not give up. Grappling him was like fighting off a rape, but his fighting knowledge was still like any other white belt. He was just tough mentally, which was to be expected, and fit as hell.
It's kind on eerie how history repeats itself when it comes to military members challenging the gladiators/fighters of their time. Roman legionnaires would occasionally fight a gladiator in the arena in hand to hand and it very rarely ever went well for the legionnaires, same as today with any SOF vs professional MMA fighters in a hand to hand situation.
What about Russell Crow in Gladiator? Hugh? What about that? He was a legionnaire! Get your facts right man!
@@brandonspaulding8097 Russell Crow's character Maximus Decimus Meridius wasn't a real person. That's just a movie my guy
@@foggy561 WHAT!?!?!
I don’t know why they think they can. Just like your legionnaire vs gladiators example, the legionnaire is trained to fight in a formation and a gladiator is trained to fight other gladiators. The advantage is obvious.
Gladiators are slaves who fight for nothing but their own survival, but legionnaires have seen, felt, endured emotions and trials with more on the line than the gladiator could ever hope to be able to deal with.
Thank you army I am a former US Marine. You are on the money here me Marines!

Mitch Aguiar not only trains but has fought amateur and professionally for years in smaller organizations. So he's not delusional like some of these other Seals talking shit. My guess is that he just felt pressured to step up and represent the Seal community. He knew he wasn't going to beat Strickland and just wanted to test himself. Real fighters aren't afraid to spar with bigger and better fighters because that's how you get better.
From what he said he already knew Sean a little bit from a few previous meetings and thought it would be a good hype thing for both of them to do it. He also straight up said that he did it to promote his brand of workout stuff after having multiple Instagram business accounts shut down for bs. He also said he absolutely no delusions that he would win at all and knew it was going to suck he just wanted to not quit lol
Great video, man. And thank you for your service.

Of all the SOF units I served with and all the SOF training I’ve been through, NONE of that shit compared to how I grew up or even the civilian life challenges. Sorry.

The seal said that he fought Sean for expirience only as he had the opportunity to fight a ufc champion. But the red t shirt guy has no value on that specific matter as he is not only a scam but the worst tactical seal instructor on the internet
That seal mitch is act a pro mma fighter and jj black belt outside of his military career so its not just a non trained guy vs sean .. that said still dumb idea 😂

Another great video from a Professional to address misconceptions to light💯💯
Ain’t no way
Did all that stuff, 1/75, time down range, tired to turn pro in MMA back when there were no weight classes….. the gap between being handy and being a pro is to large to routinely overcome
I agree that anyone outside of a profession, electrician, plumber, UFC fighter, etc., should let the professionals do their thing and pipe down. No journeyman wants to hear a customer tell them how to do their job.
Thank you for your service and the honest content.
Great video sir I live you honesty and professionalism and yes type the real deal tought guys are the quiet one that doe's broad cast themed as badly assess
The SEALS should be saving their fights for whoever posted the "pride" colors on their Instagram.
That was their own command.
Foriegn and domestic
Army does it in secret in their tents in the field.. Just saying… Army is more LGBTQ then all other
The thing is you are absolutely correct unless it is the service members preference to workouts off duty. Just because you were SOF or Infantry does not mean we can take on UFC fighters without even more extensive training, pertaining to martial arts. I think regardless we have our own stuff to be proud of as veterans. Of course my word to the wise for any former ground pounder or current looking at MMA, you're good at your thing and so are the people running the gym; listen to them and learn like you did in service.
Gone are the days of when SEALs kept quiet about being a SEAL. I remember reading about a former SEAL in the 80s and was stationed in Virginia Beach that when they were asked what they did for a living, they used the cover that they were skydivers for Coors.
This is exactly why I watch your channel..just straight up honest
Props to former SEAL Andy Stumpf for also calling these guys out. I believe his words were - “They need to STFU”
Not including Mitch Aguiar, he’s a very humble and respected dude in the MMA world. He’s not afraid of failing and getting humbled by professionals that are better then him. He’s a great guy and would encourage folks to give him a follow. 💯🤙
Every clip I see of Andy Stumpf being asked about BUDS, his eyes roll to the back of his head and he ALWAYS emphasize to ''BASIC'' Underwater Demolition/SEAL Training.
Appreciate your humility. Thanks for keeping us free and safe.
Hey I've always had a ton of respect for you guys. Wasn't aware of this conflict between seals and Strickland. I hope other operators have the sense you do. You guys are total badasses at what you do, but ur specialty isn't hand to hand combat. As you stated. UFC fighters are specialists at what they do. Total respect for this video. Glad you made it.
I’m ex Military, I’ll leave it at that, their isn’t one Seal who could beat up ANY MMA fighter, I love Seals, but they’re clueless as to how badass these UFC guys are.
This os ridiculous brother. I am 6ft 1 215 pounds would not attempt to fight a UFC fighter. I would go to my EDC if they wanted to fight me. You are right on point with this and the Seals on another controversy. Another great video.
Ok., I have to say, not sure how I came across your video but I’m glad I did. You are a realist. We are alike in a lot of ways. Only one big difference. I’m a Marine. Lol. Appreciate your service bro. New fan
"Me and my boys are the real version of what hes talking about" lol great video man
SEALs and UFC fighters have two different skill sets. In a street fight, I’ll take a UFC fighter by my side. In combat? A SEAL, every day, all day.
I don’t think that SEAL ever went into that sparring match with the intentions of winning and why would we? He’s not a pro fighter and he knows that. I don’t even know why he got in there but SF guys are a little crazy and being in there for 25 minutes is probably a lot easier than most training he’s ever had to do so why not? It was a once in a lifetime experience! Most guys running their mouth on the internet don’t have the balls to do what he did so good for him!
Enjoyed your take here and in other videos. You mentioned that you are a self-defense instructor. For lack of a better term, what style/system do you teach? Thanks.
All my curriculum is weapons based, I turn my students to some of my buddies that are martial arts experts who are looking for hand to hand based training.
Thank You for the Facts of this Situation! WAR does change people and my friend sounded like the "We Take SOULS for Real Bro!" Guy but After Coning Back He NEVER Had Tone Again!
Strickland don't give respect 4 free and I Like him nonetheless and I Sub You. You Utter LEGEND! XOXO from Norway
Happy 4th bro! Is going into the guard at 28 a bad idea? I’m going 68w, but my dad was ranger qualified (not ranger battalion, he was 14th infantry brigade). I’ve heard back then they were pushing for for one man to be ranger qualified in every squad in the army. I’m going guard regardless, but does being ranger qualified mean the same now as it did then?
He got out a few months before 9/11, and when he couldn’t get a combat deployment after discharge, he told the army to eff off
Being ranger qualified is still a huge deal in any combat arms mos, and in special forces still as well.
Sure Navy Seals can beat UFC or Bellator or any MMA fighter, and sometimes vice versa. Here's a short list:
1. Under their rules and regulation, if a navy seal and soldier has some martial arts and hand to hand training, and fights in the environment of the MMA fighter, chances are higher that the Navy Seal person would lose more than win those fights as those fights favors the MMA fighter.
2. If the MMA fighter fought under rules by Navy Seals, or participated in their hell week training, chances are higher that the MMA fighter wouldn't keep up.
3. Navy Seals has many ways of severely injuring and killing MMA fighters. We're talking about snipers, drive bys, planted bombs, missile strikes, use of grenades, use of knives, many other weapons used and many more about lethal force. In this sense the Navy Seals actually destroys MMA fighters like this, there's no question.
4. People who are right wing, white, young male suburban, too long in the internet cheerleading Navy Seals or MMA fighters, all who are fanboys of Eddie Bravo or Joe Rogan, these types are delusional in thinking MMA fighters have any chance at all in surviving Navy Seal attacks. Are delusional and in deep denial of reality riding the jocks of Joe Rogan and even Sean Strickland! That's what's been fueling this back and forth and it's honestly disappointing.
Check your own delusions, fanboy 😂
@@NPC-fl3gq I'm delusional in thinking that a UFC fighter will get killed so many times when Navy Seals use weapons like knives, guns, machine guns, bombs, drone strikes, artillery fire, Gatling guns, RPGs, grenades, tactical missile strikes, sniper fire??? Like I said, hand to hand combat UFC fighters would win more times, but actual combats involving weapons Navy Seals, not just one but a full decked out team, will kill your favorite MMA fighter. Name any MMA fighter you want, and the Navy Seals will kill them just like that, broad daylight or past midnight in pitch dark, in any weather conditions. How am I deluded in thinking that? Explain my apparent delusion,

Because you're taking the argument to the most extreme position possible.
This is no different than me saying an astronaut is tougher than a seal because the astronaut can drop an anvil out of a space station into a seals head.
If you need to take your argument to an extreme to win an argument, then you've already lost the argument.
@ValhallaVFT Hi Nate, thank you for your service to our country and the interesting content you put out! I had a question for you regarding a recent video I saw Mike Edwards, (im sure you are aware but he is a retired Ranger that was in RRC) put out. He had said that green berets don’t get the funding like the rangers or other SF groups in the different branches receive - *** I want to be clear he was not being contentious or anything like that and also I don’t mean this question as anything other than trying to learn your experience***. I was just curious as to what your experience was while in service and how tough it was in procuring gear or other resources you needed? Appreciate your insight, maybe an idea for a video - war fighters like yourself that the nation calls on to complete the most difficult operations and if you felt during your time in the green berets like you have all the resources at your disposal to do so? Thanks again Nate! And god damn man you are a big fella!
Depends what you mean by the funding. We are the largest SOF unit, we are actively deployed in 80+ countries at all times. As for TOTAL funding, we’re substantially higher than everyone else. On a unit to unit basis, maybe not per capita.
Ahhhhh man not Frogman Tactical... I like his channel... hahahaha As someone who was in competitive Muay Thai and San Da for about 10 years in addition to having served USAF SFS (mp) I can say the egos in the military despite being bigger than the calves of some of the fighters I've gone against definitely don't hit nearly as hard!
Yeah that guy is too tough for his own good. He's second guessing his decision after taking all those leg kicks for sure. Even the old seals are acting like they can beat a ufc champ. Thabk you for being a realist and speaking the truth. Frogman tactical will probably want to fight you next lmao
Mitch has a supplement company that was nearly destroyed by him speaking out against the tyrannical covid overlords, I believe this was a marketing strategy on his part cause the whole internet is now talking about it. pretty genius if you ask me
I was curious about the title because I wasn’t tracking the SEAL saying he’d chew another grown man’s face off. 😂😂

@@peterferguson8058 Was referring to his attitude. Lol, I appreciate his patriotism!
bro I'm shocked!!!! a professional fighter, former UFC world champion beat the crap out of a navy squeal? WHAT?
Try to explain that to people that says that Navy SEALs would "stomp" MMA fighter in a fight
@@alexferrana3979 look im a former SOF medic, and I used to box and wrestle as a teenager. I could handle my own, but these professional fighters are light years ahead of all people. Just like if I tried to compare myself to an experienced trauma surgeon, there really is no comparison.
This is now one of my favorite shows to watch. No bullshit from this dude!
agree with all the points you made in this clip, but your humility is so damn honorable… and you’re no joke yourself being a green beret. my utmost respect to you🙌🏻
The first clip is so bad. I remember watching a video from him where he talked about active shooters and I figured it’d be great knowledge coming from someone like him. I had to click away when he said he’d have no problem shooting innocent people that have guns and are trying to protect themselves because they’re (to paraphrase) just as dangerous because they’re untrained. Then he showed drills where people run down range while you’re shooting. Delusion.
update: one of the seals that called sean out backtracked on what he said and just started babbling about using "the great equalizer" (a gun) in the "real world" lmfao
Ya I bet after watching that he did.
Where?? Or be like this Green Beret and sit behind as a screen and make videos about it “I’m a coach, me do badass things”.. Dude looking at your age you later one enlistment or commission and quit
