Anti-Trump UFC Star Sean Strickland Escorted Out Of White House Fight Fan Fest By Secret Service
Controversial anti-Trump UFC star Sean Strickland was escorted out of the UFC fan festival event near the White House by Secret Service agents on Sunday.
The reigning middleweight champion, who has previously come under fire for racist, homophobic and misogynistic remarks, was removed from the viewing party on The Ellipse.
Strickland had previously claimed he hadn’t been invited to the event, part of America’s 250th birthday celebrations that also coincided with Donald Trump’s 80th birthday, because of his criticism of the president.
He documented what went down on social media.
