"This country makes me sick" - Sean Strickland admits to feeling "resentment for the USA," doubles down on criticism of homeland
In a fiery social media post, Sean Strickland expressed a strong disagreement with the U.S. government's policies.
Strickland is known for sharing his unabashed opinions on sensitive topics and has become one of the most polarizing figures in MMA. While many disagree with his views, a large section of the MMA community has rallied behind the fighter for speaking up.
Recently, Strickland took to X and highlighted a few dark chapters in U.S. history and the open border argument:
"You know if you easily look at America, the JFK murder, Vietnam, wars in the Middle East, open border replacement of Americans, you just can't help but feel a resentment for the U.S.A. And I say this as an American-loving patriot. This country makes me sick. How can we fix it?"
Sean Strickland's recent comments on his homeland
Sean Strickland has been relentless in his criticism of America in recent times. In another post on X, Strickland drew attention to the impact of immigration on the fabric of American society and made a bold claim about the U.S. government's intentions:
"One of the worst things for mental health is loving your country. I drive home and I see Mexican flags everywhere. I don't even think English is the language on the west coast anymore. You have a government actively looking to replace you as a voter. Damn shame to see."
Strickland's opinions on American society have been an overpowering theme of his social media presence in recent times. The 33-year-old has commented on various topics including the Russia-Ukraine war, the impact of large corporations on the minds of the American people and the African-American community's stance on the Second Amendment of the U.S. Constitution.
On the professional front, Strickland has been campaigning for an immediate title fight rematch after losing the middleweight belt to Dricus du Plessis at UFC 297 in a closely contested fight. However, he will next fight former title challenger and No.7-ranked middleweight Paulo Costa at UFC 302 on June 1.
