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.

Sean Strickland primed to run it back with dricus du plessis in 2025

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.

‘Did You Jab Him To A Split Decision?’ – MMA Fans React After Sean Strickland Recounts Being A High School Bully

Sean Strickland confesses about being a bully in high school

Former UFC middleweight champion Sean Strickland’s recent admission of having bullied a fellow student during his high school years sparked a wave of backlash from fans online. Strickland has drawn as much attention for his abrasive and controversial antics outside the Octagon as for his impressive prowess within it. With his unapologetically bold and raw […]

UFC middleweight champion Dricus Du Plessis could well have his next two title defenses already laid out in front of him if he keeps hold of the belt.

After earning his first successful defense by submitting Israel Adesanya at UFC 305, a rematch is seemingly on the cards for his new challenge.

Sean Strickland and Du Plessis fought to a very close split decision at UFC 297 to kick off the year where “Stillknocks” became champion.

However, another challenger looms overhead at this time as Alex Pereira is apparently planning to move back down to middleweight for one more fight, after his light heavyweight title defense at UFC 307.

Given the fact that Strickland and Pereira have become friends after they met inside the Octagon at UFC 276, Du Plessis suggested that they should fight each other for the number one contender status rather than challenging him one after the other.

MMA Fans React To Dricus Du Plessis Calling The Middleweight Shots

The fans on social media didn’t respond well to Du Plessis’ call for Strickland and Pereira to run it back, which isn’t necessarily surprising given the large and vocal fan bases of both fighters.

Though some were complimenting the champion’s trash talk, many didn’t see why “Poatan” would possibly fight anyone but the titleholder at this stage.

“Makes literally no sense. Alex would immediately get a title shot if he wanted being he’s the champ and has already been the MW champ before. Silly to even say this”

Dricus Du Plessis Threatens He Will Sleep Both Alex Pereira and Sean Strickland

Dricus Du Plessis plans to “sleep” both Alex Pereira and Sean Strickland and he’s happy to let them decide which one goes night-night first.

After earning a win over Strickland in January to win the UFC middleweight title, ‘DDP’ scored his first successful defense last month, besting Israel Adesanya in Perth via a fourth-round submission victory via RNC.

Immediately following the win, Pereira, who held the 185-pound title before moving up to light heavyweight, revealed his plan to move back down to middleweight one last time to challenge Du Plessis. While a rematch with Strickland is almost certainly up next for Du Plessis, the South African star is more than happy to beat down both fighters.

As for who’s first, he doesn’t really care.

“@AlexPereiraUFC you and you boyfriend @SStricklandMMA can have a domestic dispute on who gets slept first,” Du Plessis wrote on X.

Du Plessis vs. Strickland 2 is on the horizon as Pereira marches toward his third title defense of 2024

With Alex Pereira already booked for his third title defense of 2024 on October 5 and Strickland choosing to sit out until he gets his rematch with Du Plessis, the likeliest scenario is that we’ll see ‘DDP’ vs. Strickland 2 going down sometime in early 2025.

The two first met last January at UFC 297 when ‘Tarzan’ entered the bout as the middleweight champion. The pair delivered an entertaining five-round scrap that saw ‘DDP’ walk away with the win via a very close and highly contestable split decision.

Strickland lobbied for an immediate rematch but was forced to go back down the rankings and get another win first. He did exactly that in June, defeating Paulo Costa at UFC 302.

Machine Gun Kelly Slams Sean Strickland as ‘Racist and Homophobic’ After Run-In

Machine Gun Kelly is tired of hearing Sean Strickland run his mouth.

While in Las Vegas for a Power Slap event during Super Bowl weekend, Strickland and MGK had a brief run-in where the former UFC middleweight champion made fun of the musician’s overall appearance, likening him to a “goth South Park character” before being escorted out of the facility.

Since then, Strickland has regularly thrown shade at the Grammy-nominated artist in interviews and on social media prompting MGK’s longtime partner, actress Megan Fox, to reach out to Strickland via DM.

During an appearance on the IMPAULSIVE podcast with Logan Paul, MGK was asked about his run-in with Strickland and the UFC star’s never-ending barrage of verbal jabs. Machine Gun Kelly took it as an opportunity to send a direct and very clear message to Strickland

“There’s another funny factor of the art of me standing or just existing, it makes people furious.” MGK said when asked about his run-in with Strickland. “I don’t know this guy, from a crumb of bread. I didn’t know who this guy was when I met him, but I got hit afterward that he’s insanely racist, and homophobic, and not my type of guy. So I would’ve never wanted to shake hands with him in the first place.

“But, he also is just a representative of every person who is just too scared to be themselves. If you’re comfortable as yourself, you don’t care how anyone else is, or who they are. He’s so dumb, I’m going to tell him right now. You should not keep saying stuff, because it just makes me look better. But you’re going to keep saying stuff… Learn this, shut the f*ck up, and don’t speak on me anymore… You’re a f*cking idiot” (h/t BJPenn.com).

Sean Strickland snaps back at Machine Gun Kelly

Unsurprisingly, Sean Strickland snapped back at the “f*cking weirdo” in yet another scathing rant on X,

“Getting lectured by a guy who drinks blood and wears a purse,” Strickland wrote. “Dawg you had a mid life crisis and tattooed your entire body. The “the x community of intolerance” yall I’d hang out with you toxic trolls any day over this cunt… Go back to cutting yourself you fucking weirdo.”

As of this writing, MGK has not reacted to Strickland’s latest comment.
