Former UFC Champion Sean Strickland Comments on Donald Trump's Debate Performance, Calls George W. Bush a War Criminal

Sean Strickland dubbed late U.S. Senator John McCain and former U.S. President George W. Bush “war criminals” in his latest rant on social media.

Strickland has never been one to shy away from sharing his political beliefs so it should come as no surprise that the outspoken ex-titleholder had plenty to say following Tuesday’s presidential debate between Donald Trump and Kamala Harris.

“John McCain is a POS burn in hell, you deserve the fire,” Strickland wrote on X. “Him and George Bush are war criminals and should be tried and hung….. legally.. Knowingly lied to get us into war. How much money and lives were lost for that lie… Go to hell. You belong there. Traitors of America.

When discussing Trump’s efforts to overturn the Affordable Care Act, otherwise known as Obamacare, while he was president, Harris invoked “the late, great John McCain,” praising him for voting as a Republican against the GOP efforts to eliminate Obamacare. 

In all likelihood, those comments from Harris are what inspired Strickland to go on his anti-McCain tirade.

Strickland last competed inside the Octagon in June, scoring a split decision victory over Paulo Costa at UFC 302 in Newark, New Jersey. The victory re-affirmed his status as the top-ranked contender in the middleweight division, prompting Dana White to declare that ‘Tarzan’ would get the next shot at current titleholder Dricus Du Plessis.

Strickland surrendered the strap to ‘DDP’ in January following a five-round back-and-forth war that saw Du Plessis escape with a split decision of his own, though it came with a hint of controversy as many, including the UFC CEO, though Strickland did enough to walk away with his title intact.

Du Plessis, recently extended his unbeaten streak inside the Octagon to eight via a fourth-round submission victory over former two-time champion Israel Adesanya at UFC 305 in Perth.

No official date has been announced for Du Plessis vs. Strickland 2, but the promotion is keen to book the fight in the South African’s home country.

Leben: DUI Arrest ‘Not a Big Deal,’ Compares Self to Former President of United States

Try not to look too shocked, y’all: Chris Leben went on Ariel Helwani’s "The MMA Hour" radio show yesterday and made a number of incredible statements about his October arrest on suspicion of drunk driving in Hawaii. And when we say “incredible,” we mean it in the most literal sense, as in, not credible. Among other things, Leben said he doesn’t believe his latest DUI arrest is “going to be a big deal,” that “nothing is going to happen with it” and – if you want to know the truth – he’s not 100 percent sure he’ll even be formally charged with DUI after the truth comes out at his upcoming February court date. Oh, and he also compared himself to the former president of the United States.

"George (W.) Bush got a DUI and he ended up being the president," Leben said. "I really feel as though nothing’s really going to happen with it, honestly. I don’t want to talk about it too much, and it’s still in the works. But I don’t think it’s going to be a big deal."

Obviously, Leben comparing himself to the leader of the free world – even a really, really bad one – is a bit of a stretch. Also, forgive us here at CagePotato Legal Services if we can’t take such an optimistic view of his upcoming court appearance. Let’s review some facts.
