UFC star Sean Strickland has shared a number of controversial tweets in the wake of Russia’s invasion on the Ukraine.<\/p>\n
The outspoken middleweight, Strickland (24-3 MMA), is no stranger to controversy. The 30-year-old previously released a video<\/a>\u00a0suggesting he wanted\u00a0\u201cto do some weird sh*t\u201d<\/em> to fellow UFC fighter Belal Muhammad. That bizarre notion was followed by admissions of a disturbing childhood which apparently included a phase as a white supremacist<\/a>.<\/p>\n \u201cI was really fucking angry. I was so angry I actually went through this weird neo-Nazi, white supremacist phase when I was younger and I got kicked out of school for hate crimes, like all this crazy shit. I was angry and I had a lot of fucked-up influences in my life that it felt so good to fucking hate something.\u201d <\/em>Strickland revealed. \u201cI would walk down the street with like a knife or a rock hoping to kill somebody. And when I started training I\u2019m like man, you\u2019re just fucking angry.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n Most recently Sean Strickland was back in the headlines for sharing some controversial tweets<\/a> regarding Russia’s invasion on the Ukraine.<\/p>\n As seen below, Strickland suggested that Ukraine should just “bend the knee” and become Russian.<\/p>\n Ukraine should just bend the knee and become Russian… I understand it sucks and yes you could win….. but do you really want to be the new Afghanistan for the next 30 years??? Not saying it's right but this hard pill to swallow will be better in the end.<\/p>\n — Sean Strickland (@SStricklandMMA) February 25, 2022<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n
