UFC middleweight champion Sean Strickland created a stir by releasing a video of himself holding a man at gunpoint in his driveway.
Strickland shared the edited footage from what seems to be his home surveillance and doorbell cam feeds, claiming that he initially believed the man was attempting to steal his car. He later realized that the “guy was drunk stomping out a girl” and was fleeing security when he stumbled into his driveway.
However, Strickland’s account of the incident remains unverified. The identity of the alleged trespasser is unknown, and his face is blurred out in the video. The video was uploaded on Instagram by Strickland.
In the video, the man is captured through a doorbell cam stumbling on the sidewalk and falling in front of what appears to be Strickland’s house. The man then walks between two vehicles in the driveway and kneels down. The video then transitions to a clip of Strickland apparently walking down an outdoor corridor of his house, before returning to the doorbell cam with Strickland pointing a pistol at the alleged trespasser.
The video then shows Strickland pursuing the man to the street in front of his house, kicking him to the ground and holding him at gunpoint with his foot on his torso. Another man in a red shirt, who seems to be a security officer, is seen walking alongside Strickland in this clip. Strickland mentioned that the man was eventually arrested.
“Here’s what I know,” Strickland wrote. “The guy was drunk stomping out a girl, a security guard seen it, he jumped in his car and drove off. Security followed him, hit a curb, completely shredded his tire, drove on the rim for a while then jumped out and tried to hide at my house. I initially thought he was stealing my car. He was arrested.”
It’s important to note that none of this has been verified.
Strickland, 32, is the current UFC middleweight champion, having defeated Israel Adesanya in a title fight at UFC 293 in September. He is set to defend his belt for the first time against No. 2 contender Dricus Du Plessis at UFC 297 on Jan. 20.
