âYou guys, I already bought my plane ticket. Weâre fâking going,â he continued. âIâm gonna bring the belt, Iâm gonna get a big fâking bull horn and weâre gonna go right up to the gates. So, if you guys are going to be there, letâs fâking go. Not in a threatening way, weâre gonna do a peaceful protest.â
The UFC clearly appreciates Stricklandâs ability to whip up emotion amongst a large swathe of combat sports fans and casuals ⌠or at least they do when that emotion can lead to more money. And they may be laughing all the way to the bank over Seanâs latest move. In todayâs attention economy, weâre unsure how different announcing a protest outside the UFC White House event is to threatening to shoot your opponent leading up to UFC 328. In the end, both are just publicity for the card, if you believe the old adage that thereâs no such thing as bad publicity.
We do have to wonder how the Trump administration will feel about the UFCâs own champions piling onto âThe Donaldâ as his birthday party approaches. But letâs be honest: Strickland is just one more grain of sand on the vast beach of discontent that is American political sentiment towards Trump these days. He wonât be the only one in D.C. that day protesting Trump.
At this point we have to wonder, given all the issues the Freedom 250 committee has been having with the event, if protesters donât end up outnumbering fans in Washington on fight day.
Iâm not reading all nonsense. Itâs a fight card, be happy your taxes provided you something this time
Thats how I am too
Nothing has been confirmed except goofy click bait sites trying to stir up some idiocy. Maybe he will be in attendance but I havenât seen anything legit confirming it. Gemini didnât pull anything official, not to say that means it doesnât exist.
Dana said that no tax dollars would be used for this event.
Dana never lies. Ever.
Dude. Itâs literally a UFC event at THE place of politics, the white house.
Hay , Ive got 4000 hrs invested in this MOFO
cannot wait for this thread to die
I tried to warn those Whites!
Too badâŚ
Thats why I voted for that Indian lady.
Wait. Are we sure Netenyahu is actually going?
Thats not just a rumor?
Not sure. I thought I read it on an HKP article but I suppose thereâs nothing confirmed yet. Not that it would be shocking in any way if he was there. Trump might have told him he needs to be there as a PR move. Trump: âGo out there and get some fans Bibi!â
But itâs not a political event.
Before and after his fight with Khamzat, Sean has said a LOT of offensive shit ha ha. Yet, Paramount only censored a joke he made about AIPAC! If that doesnât give a clue, I donât what it takes.
As for Justin, if I were in shoes, I wouldnât criticize either. He is the main event of this card. Sean insât on it. Itâs not like Gaethje is endorsing AIPAC or making any political statement. He is focusing on his fight.
WONT SOMEONE THINK OF THE LAWN!!! 
UFC is footing the bill for the entire thing
