TORONTO – UFC CEO Dana White has addressed Sean Strickland’s viral, anti-LGBTQ comments from earlier this week.
Strickland, who lost the UFC middleweight title Saturday at UFC 297, was under fire and went viral on social media after going on an anti-LGBTQ rant at Wednesday’s media day. Over the years, White has taken a stance in which he doesn’t police most things said by fighters on the promotion’s roster.
Despite this recent public backlash, White – not condoning or denouncing Strickland’s comments – kept true to his word and said Strickland was baited by the reporter with his question.
