UFC Champion Sean Strickland Climbs Into WWE Ring at UFC Freedom 250, Gets Escorted Out By Security

Sean Strickland is currently the UFC Middleweight Champion, yet his presence was not requested for the UFC Freedom 250 event last night at the White House in Washington, D.C.. Strickland has made a number of controversial statements over the years, until recently they were in line with most of the positions from the current occupants of power in the United States’ capitol.

Strickland claimed he had been banned from attending the event due to statements he had made about Israel & Jeffrey Epstein. UFC’s Dana White denied that Strickland had been banned, instead claiming that there were only so many tickets available. Strickland opted to appear at the event anyway, making his way into a WWE ring that had been set up for the fan fest that took place prior to the fighting. As you can see in the video below, Sean Strickland was escorted off the premises by security.

Strickland won the Middleweight Championship for the second time in May. His appearance in a WWE ring along with Conor McGregor’s social media postings helped keep WWE in the spotlight during their sister promotion’s big night.
