Sean Strickland is on of the most consistent mixed martial arts fighters in the industry. He has many followers all around the globe because of his style of fighting and results.
In UFC he has a 28-6 record and every time he performs the crowd is very much into his fights, but when he voices his opinion on any topic, everyone is paying attention as well.
This time, I might’ve cost him a few fans.
Ahead of his fight versus Paulo Costa on UFC 302, Strickland has upset Mexican and other Hispanic fans with his latest comments about seeing foreign flags in the United States.
He took to his social media to express what he thinks, and he didn’t hold back.
“I’m so sick of seeing foreign flags in America. I don’t get it. You left your corrupt country to come to the USA and yet you still rep what you fled? The worst is Hispanics born in America flying a Mexican flag,” he posted on X, formerly known as Twitter. “Where is your loyalty. Just go back. Enjoy your foreign flag.”
Fans reacted replying on his post and it was not pretty
As expected, many Mexican fans reacted to his comments on X and other Hispanics joined the conversation.
“You’re not allowed to eat tacos anymore after this tweet Sean,” one user said.
“O Sean. My guy Las Vegas is literally a Spanish word homie, lol. This was all land of Mexico Guey,” another one replayed.
And the comments just kept piling up, so on his next public appearance or social media post, Sean Strickland might not get cheered a lot specially in a place where there are many Mexican fans.
