..........
Strickland was not technically arrested, but was removed from the UFC fan fest happening at the White House on Sunday by security and escorted out.

It wasn't Strickland's first time attempting to sneak into a UFC White House event over the weekend. He was also mobbed by fans when he made his way into a pre-fight press conference on Friday.

Strickland shared a photo to social media that showed him being led off the grounds by security.

It's unknown whether Strickland will officially be charged, but in a video posted to social media, he said he may be facing a disorderly conduct charge. In Washington D.C., that could be punishable by up to 90 days in jail, up to a $500 fine or both.

This whole video is good, but the part with Strickland being kicked out starts at about 4:40.

1. Thanks.. why does Sean

Strickland have to "sneak in"?

[LexVegas]

2. He was likely banned due to his vocal criticism of US / Israel relations. nt

4. TY.. I just looked him up

Because I had no idea who he was.

.. is an American professional mixed martial artist competing in the Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC). Known by his nickname "Tarzan," he is the reigning and two-time UFC Middleweight Champion. He boasts an impressive professional career spanning back to 2008 with a notable record of 31 wins and 7 losses.

Wow, I just looked up Why he was banned, too. "Epstein Files" Good on him!

Sean Strickland claimed he was barred from attending the UFC Freedom 250 event at the White House due to his vocal criticisms of the Trump administration's foreign policy and his public remarks about the Epstein files.

3. He spoke out strongly against the UFC event at the White House

and specifically against Trump and Netanyahu.

Strickland had been publicly outspoken in the lead-up to Sunday's event claiming he was banned from attending. UFC CEO Dana White dispute this, saying Strickland simply wasn't invited. Strickland then doubled-down, saying UFC CBO Hunter Campbell had invited him but then he was notified that he wasn't cleared to attend.

Strickland, at times, has been outspoken against president Donald Trump, the United States' relationship with Israel, and the lack of release of the Jeffrey Epstein files.

5. Thank you! I can certainly see

why PEDO banned a truth teller like Sean Strickland!

And now he's being relentless!

9. Those are like his only good takes.

The rest of his views are pretty fucked up.

10. Strickland also posted an AI video of himself attacking Dylan Mulvaney

He's still an abhorrent excuse for a human being.

Called Chinese people animals and savages, uses racial slurs, thinks giving women the right to vote was a mistake and thinks Bad Bunny is a gay foreigner who doesn't speak English.

11. Thanks for that. I had no clue who

he was. Just why he was banned from the UFC.

6. He's also super racist and homophobic. He has said some of the craziest things in recent sports.

He has spoken out against Israel, and he’s also sung the praises of hitler. I would look closely at who he is before you sing his praises because they wouldn’t let him attend.

7. I didn't sing anyone's praises. For you to even imply I did is extremely offensive.

I simply posted an article and video about what happened with him because I thought some people might find it interesting and to highlight the hypocrisy of this administration.
