Strickland Criticized After Viral Photo With Young Fan

Former UFC middleweight champion Sean Strickland was criticized after a video surfaced of him requesting a young fan to raise her middle finger while posing for a photo.

The clip quickly spread across social media, sparking backlash from fans who called the interaction inappropriate, especially given the girl's age. This is the latest in a series of controversial moments involving Strickland near children, following a previous incident where he made remarks that upset Anthony Hernandez's daughter during UFC Houston fight week.
