A US Navy SEAL has accused UFC star Sean Strickland of lying about a 'no rules' fight challenge.

Last week former UFC middleweight champion Strickland posted an Instagram video in which he mocked Navy SEALs training.

Navy SEAL Jason Pike of Frogman Tactical responded to Strickland by challenging the 33-year-old to a "no rules" fight.

"The weakest SEAL that has ever been created would destroy you in a street fight as I would," Pike said.

"There are no rules, we are fighting for our life. Every single time you went for an armbar or a choke or something like that. I would chew your face off…Yet you think you can break men like me?

"Come to the street where there are no rules where we don’t have to worry about hitting you in certain areas, where there’s no bells, where’s it’s all about survival instinct."

Strickland soon responded on X and claimed that he privately messaged the SEAL but received no response.

He then added: "Listen fighting is my job.. Ask me to fight tell me how much. If it's a good number I say yes... I train when I'm sick, I train on vacation. I take my job seriously.

"But violence is my love and if some navy seal influencer wants to give me a therapy session I'm game lol!!!!"

The situation took a turn on Monday when Pike posted a video on FaceBook, claiming that he had evidence that Pike never messaged him and that the UFC star was lying.

"I went through all my messages and nothing…so here’s my challenge to you, Sean, take a snapshot timestamp of the DM you sent me…I think your fans deserve transparency, the evidence simply doesn’t line up, and here’s why I further believe you told a lie," he said.

"I know you’ve been to my FaceBook, I know you’ve been to my Instagram, I know you’ve been to my YouTube, I know you’ve been to my website…all my information is there, there are multiple sources have to get a hold of me, emails, DMs, and my phone number.

"If you want to set all this up, just use my phone number and stop playing this petty crap and trying to get the keyboard commandos involved on your FaceBook or Twitter or whatever."
