UFC CEO Dana Whiterefuted Strickland's claims and said no one was banned from attending but pointed out the temporary venue having limited seating. On Sunday, just before the event went live on Paramount+, Strickland was removed from the event's Fan Fest by numerous police officers. The middleweight champion could be facing misdemeanor charges for disorderly conduct for sneaking into the event.
“I may have been charged with disorderly conduct. I don’t know what that is but it sounds cool,” Strickland said in an Instagram post. “Anyways, I just want to thank you fans. I can’t thank you guys enough. After being banned, you guys riding, supporting me, it means a lot to me.”
