UFC middleweight champion Sean Strickland recently shared videos capturing a tense encounter outside his Las Vegas residence with an individual he claims was involved in domestic abuse. In the footage, Strickland can be seen brandishing what seems to be a firearm at the blurred-faced man. Another clip depicts Strickland and an unidentified companion confronting and eventually restraining the same individual, all against the backdrop of flashing lights.
According to Strickland’s account, the man was allegedly intoxicated and physically assaulting a woman. A security guard intervened, prompting the man to flee in his vehicle. A pursuit ensued, resulting in the suspect crashing and attempting to seek refuge at Strickland’s home. Initially suspecting car theft, Strickland discovered the man had been apprehended by the police, shedding light on the dramatic sequence of events.

While Strickland openly shared this incident on social media, the Las Vegas police have not commented on his posts, and a name search did not yield any results. A records request for a police report is currently pending. The UFC has yet to provide an official statement in response to the situation.
In a separate post, Strickland posted Ring video footage showing the man stumbling into a driveway and attempting to hide between parked cars, leading to a verbal confrontation. Additionally, Strickland shared an image of the man’s vehicle post-confrontation.
Known for detailing his various encounters on social media, Strickland recently engaged in an online dispute with UFC welterweight star Ian Machado Garry, just prior to disclosing the details of his confrontation with the aforementioned individual.
Looking ahead, Strickland is scheduled to defend his middleweight title in January against Dricus Du Plessis at UFC 297 in Toronto.
The Las Vegas police’s silence on the matter has only fueled the debate, leaving many eager for an official statement or clarification on the incident. A records request for the police report is pending, and until then, the details remain shrouded in uncertainty.
