Sean Strickland, who joined the crowd at the UFC Freedom 250 weigh-ins in Washington, D.C. on Friday and caused quite the scene, appears to be causing more of a stir.
On Sunday, during the UFC Freedom 250 preshow broadcast, Strickland posted two video clips to his Instagram Story. The first, which appeared to be shot from inside a police vehicle, suggested he was potentially going to jail. The second claimed he’d been charged with Disorderly Conduct, a misdemeanor.
The circumstances around Strickland’s arrest and charging are unclear. He’d previously posted that he was unable to come up with a ticket for the White House card’s fan fest; the UFC middleweight champion previously claimed to have been banned from the event.
It appears he attempted to sneak into the fan fest anyway.
“You guys, I’m pretty sure I didn’t break a law. Like I’m pretty sure,” Strickland states in the first clip, adding “but I might be going to jail. I’m pretty sure we didn’t break no laws.”
In a second video that appeared to be filmed in his hotel room, Strickland provided a little more detail. “Alright guys, I may have been charged with disorderly conduct. I don’t know what that is, but it sounds cool.”
“Anyways, I just want to thank you fans. I can’t thank you guys enough. After being banned [from UFC Freedom 250, allegedly], you guys writing, supporting me, it means a lot to me. Thank you.”
On Instagram, Strickland also posted a shot of him being escorted out of the UFC Freedom 250 fan fest.
Strickland’s appearance in the crowd at weigh-ins on Friday saw him leg kick a fan, publicly call U.S. President Donald Trump a pedophile, then flee the scene while being mobbed by the crowd.
