UFC champion Sean Strickland was seen confronting an intruder in his home in a stunning viral video.
The UFC middleweight titleholder, who captured the title back in September after a stunning victory over Israel Adesanya, has a tendency to find himself in controversial situations.
The American has been making headlines lately with several outbursts and antics for strange reasons – like when he was seen chasing a man while holding a flamethrower.
While his most recent incident wasn’t quite as heated, it still showcased the quickness of Strickland – who later revealed the truth about the interaction.

The UFC champion came marching out after spotting the man ringing his doorbell
As he hides, the camera connected to Strickland’s ring doorbell system pans to one of his other doors and shows the UFC champion marching out of his house.
Almost immediately before the video abruptly ends, shouts can be heard, leaving fans curious as to how the encounter ended.
Well, lucky for her, Strickland revealed details about the encounter on both a fan page account and his personal Instagram account.
In response to another user, Strickland said, “He was being chased by security.” The story goes that he hit his sister, flew away, slashed his tire, disabled his vehicle and continued on foot.
Strickland then posted the footage to his personal account with the caption: “I checked my ring last night and thought he was stealing my car or trying to break in… What should you have done?”
“I need full insurance for my truck lol!!!” Really nice guy too…’.
Strickland claimed on his Instagram account that the intruder was a “really nice guy”

In September, MMA legend Ken Shamrock stressed that Strickland’s controversial behavior was a positive for the UFC.
UFC Hall of Famer Shamrock believes “characters” are a good thing for the sport as he compared Strickland to Irishman McGregor. “Notorious” has also become known for his outlandish comments and heated arguments with opponents before fights.
“I think that, especially in the world of fighting, you have all kinds of characters and you have to be prepared for them,” he told Inside Fighting. “It’s marketing.” As long as people want to hate you or like you, as long as they tune in. So it doesn’t matter,” Shamrock said.
“I think McGregor is the perfect example. “He’s crossed the line a few times on somewhat questionable things, but it still boosts viewership. As an owner or someone who promotes fights, you want that, but you have to be able to keep it somewhat secret so that it doesn’t go too far and you end up hurting people in the process. So I don’t mind.
