UFC middleweight champion Sean Strickland has gotten around to reacting to the UFC/Bud Light deal.
Earlier this week, the UFC announced they signed a multi-year partnership with Anheuser-Busch to make Bud Light the official beer in the UFC in a deal reportedly worth over $100 million.
The UFC and Dana White have since faced backlash over the deal because many are still boycotting Bud Light over their previous partnership with trans activist Dylan Mulvaney.
Strickland, who has shared his controversial thoughts about the LGBTQ community in the past, praised the beer company for “doing the right thing” and vowed to fix “Bud Light’ personally in an Instagram post.
“Hey guys, I’m on my way to training and I just found out Bud Light is a new sponsor and God d-mn I applaud you guys,” “I’m so f–ing proud of you guys for doing the right things after that f–k up.”
“You know how I feel about transgenders. I go f–king hard. Just what I do. I’m the biggest advocate of biological females. If I said my views on transgenders I would get kicked off Instagram,”
“I can not f–king wait to pick up a big ol’ Bud Light can and fix you Bud Light because you guys are doing the right f–king thing. I, Sean Strickland, a representation of the American people, am going to fix you Bud Light. Thank you for giving me money. Thank you for supporting my platform. I’m going to help”
Before defeating Israel Adesanya and becoming middleweight champion, Strickland was known his bizarre rants at press conferences.
Earlier this year, Strickland went viral when he said he believed women should stay out of the workplace.
“We need to go back to taking women out of the workforce. Maybe that is where we f—- up, you guys, we let women vote, no offense. … Think about America prior to women voting.
“…So what you did, man, you let these women come [into] the workforce, now we make less money, we got kids raising themselves on f—– TikTok. … We need to put women back in the kitchen… only one man needs to be working.
“So I think as a collective man group, we need to elect somebody that’s going to put women back in the kitchen, but one man working, raise the wages, and build a f—- wall.”
