UFC middleweight champion Sean
Strickland has posted a video of him holding a man at gunpoint
in front of his Las Vegas home.
In the footage from Ring.com, a man is initially seen stumbling
into Strickland’s driveway before crouching in between two cars.
The UFC veteran — along with another individual in a red shirt —
follow the man into the street, where Strickland appears to shove
him to the ground while pointing a gun in his direction. “Sit the
f—k down,” Strickland can be overheard saying. Sirens also appear
to be flashing in the background.
According to Strickland, he initially thought the man was trying to
steal his car. Instead, Strickland claims that the man was involved
in a domestic violence incident where he “was drunk stomping out a
girl.”
“The guy was drunk stomping out a girl, a security guard seen it,
he jumped in his car and drove off,” Strickland wrote on Instagram.
“Security followed him, hit a curb, completely shredded his tire,
drove on the rim for awhile then jumped out and tried to hide at my
house. I initially thought he was stealing my car. He was
arrested.”
Strickland also posted a photo of the vehicle the man allegedly
drove on the rim after shredding its tire.
Naa man… the guy was beating up a girl and
fled drunk from security, wrecked his car, drove on the rim till it
couldn’t drive and took off on foot hiding at my house. Had to turn
himself into police in the morning. https://t.co/qCQ3PB20ba pic.twitter.com/4iGD5ixt0g— Sean Strickland (@SStricklandMMA)

Dricus Du
Plessis in the UFC 297
main event on Jan. 20 in Toronto.
