UFC middleweight champion Sean Strickland says he is banned from this week’s White House events. According to reports, Strickland makes the claim before photos circulate showing him being escorted off the White House grounds by the U.S. Secret Service. The accounts describe the removal as occurring after his statement, with his departure captured in images. The reports do not provide additional details on the reasons for any alleged ban or on the specific events Strickland was scheduled to attend. Strickland is described as one of the UFC’s more controversial fighters and is identified as the current middleweight champion. The U.S. Secret Service’s role in escorting him from the premises is consistent across the coverage, while the explanations for the change in access are not included in the available summaries.
