Sean Strickland Wears ICE Hat and Jokes About Mexican Olympian at UFC PI

Former UFC middleweight champion Sean Strickland arrived at the UFC Performance Institute in Las Vegas wearing an ICE hat and made a controversial joke about violating the rights of a Mexican Olympian training there. The clip, which quickly spread across X (Twitter), drew widespread backlash for racism and insensitivity, especially given the ongoing U.S. immigration debates.

Fans flooded social media with mixed reactions — some called for UFC accountability, while others defended Strickland’s unapologetic personality. Many also pointed out his history of controversial remarks. As of Thursday evening, neither Sean Strickland nor the UFC has issued a public response.
