Sean Strickland Says “Muslim Fighters Especially in a Group Are Violent and Unpredictable”

UFC middleweight champion Sean Strickland shared his thoughts on Muslim fighters in MMA, claiming they are “violent and unpredictable.”

On November 11, 2026, UFC middleweight champion Sean Strickland shared his thoughts on Muslim fighters in the organization. He stated that he does not hate Muslims and that he has a lot of friends who practice the religion.

However, according to Strickland, Muslim fighters in the MMA community can become “violent and unpredictable,” especially when they are in a group. He had this to say on X:

“I don’t hate Muslims; hell, I have a lot of Muslim friends, and maybe this has more to do with region and less of religion, but it is a very known thing in the MMA world that Muslim fighters especially in a group are violent and unpredictable.”

In the replies, an X user then posted a clip of Strickland famously beating up Muslim streamer Sneako. In response, the UFC middleweight champion stated that the incident was the influencer’s idea and that Strickland had warned him about the outcome. He said:

“This was his idea, and I told him this would be the outcome.”
