UFC champion Sean Strickland talks about the “Free Palestine” movement, claiming it is the “official slogan for weak celebrities.”
On October 4, 2026, UFC middleweight champion Sean Strickland shared his thoughts on the Israel-Palestine conflict. Strickland questioned the “Free Palestine” slogan, which is used to advocate for the end of Israeli occupation of Palestinian territories. The UFC fighter called it the “official slogan of weak celebrities.” He also touched on celebrities’ alleged refusal to mention the reason behind the slogan. He said:
“Free Palestine should be the official slogan of weak celebrities. Free Palestine from what exactly??? The fact celebrities never say who is doing it shows you how controlled America is. #FreeAmericafromIsrael.”
Hours later, Strickland went on to question the meaning of “Free Palestine.” On X, he asked whether there was an antisemitic intent behind the slogan that people are afraid to discuss. He also asked whether there was a two-state solution that activists are advocating for with the slogan. He said:
“Tell me, what does #FREEPALESTINE mean???? Is there a hidden meaning because everyone is afraid of being called antisemitic? Or is it just a two-state solution?”
The UFC middleweight champion is often known to share provocative statements on his social media. Strickland became a two-time champion after dethroning Khamzat Chimaev in their fight on May 9, 2026.
Sean Strickland Talks About Selective Activism
On October 4, 2026, Sean Strickland suggested that the “Free Palestine” movement was part of selective outrage. The UFC middleweight champion shone a light on the devastating civil war in Sudan, which has now been dubbed “the world’s largest humanitarian crisis” by UNICEF. He also talked about the military coup in Myanmar that displaced over 3.8 million people from their homes.
Strickland then addressed the United States funding Israel for the war in Gaza. He wrote:
“Explain this to me. No one is saying free Sudan. Peace in Myanmar. From a pure loss-of-life scale, Palestine isn’t top tier, but none of you ***** are posting about them. So you’re trendy??? I don’t need a stupid ******* slogan to say get Israel out of America.”
