UFC Middleweight Champion Sean Strickland is getting ready for his UFC 297 combat in opposition to Dricus Du Plessis on Saturday night time, and within the days earlier than the bout, he sparred with a reporter over feedback he made a couple of years in the past.
The event is ready to happen at Scotiabank Area in Toronto, and the reporter introduced up feedback Strickland made about having a homosexual son. The reporter talked about how he was an ally of the LGBT group and that Toronto has a big homosexual and lesbian group. Strickland requested the reporter if he was homosexual and if he had a son who was homosexual and whether or not he needed a grandkid. The reporter mentioned he was not homosexual, and it could not be an issue if he had a grandson or not.

“Well then you’re a weak f—ing man,” Strickland mentioned. “You’re part of the f—ing problem. You elected Justin Trudeau. When he seized the bank accounts, like you’re just f—ing pathetic. The fact that you have no f—ing backbone and as he shutdown your f—ing country and seized bank accounts, you ask me some stupid s— like that. Go f— yourself. Move the f— on man.”
The reporter moved on from Strickland’s rant and talked about how the fighter was going to make use of his time to talk out about Bud Mild and the trans group after the corporate partnered with trans activist Dylan Mulvaney for a advertising marketing campaign, which yielded disastrous outcomes.

UFC, nevertheless, reupped its partnership with Bud Mild following the backlash. UFC president Dana White explained in October that Anheuser-Busch and Bud Mild had been their unique beer sponsors greater than 15 years in the past.
“Here’s the thing about Bud Light … Ten years ago, to be trans, was a mental f—ing illness,” Strickland mentioned. “And now, all of a sudden, people like you f—ing weaseled your way into the world … you are an infection. You are the definition of weakness. Everything that is wrong with the world is because of f—ing you. And the best thing is, the world is not buying your f—ing bulls— you’re f—ing peddling.

“The world will not be saying, you already know what, you’re proper, ‘Chicks have d—s.’ The world will not be saying that. The world is saying, no, there are two genders. I don’t need my children being taught about who they might f— in class. I don’t need my children being taught about their sexual desire. This man is a f—ing enemy.”
