Video: Sean Strickland escorted out of UFC Freedom 250 fan fest by drove of police officers
Well, invite or not it turns out Sean Strickland wasn’t welcome at UFC Freedom 250.
On Saturday, multiple videos show Strickland (31-7 MMA, 18-7 UFC) was escorted out of the fan fest viewing party in Washington by a drove of police and security. Strickland filmed a video of himself – all the way into the police van they placed him in.
“I’m pretty sure I didn’t break any law,” Strickland laughed, in the paddywagon-like vehicle. “But I might be going to jail.”

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.
