Sean Strickland – “I’m so sick of seeing foreign flags in America”
Former UFC middleweight champion Sean Strickland will not miss an opportunity to offend someone, whenever he can.
In his latest post on social media platform X, the 185-pound fighter wrote: “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.. Where is your loyalty.. Just go back.. Enjoy your foreign flag”

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.. Where is your loyalty.. Just go back.. Enjoy your foreign flag
