‘He’s Accomplished A Lot’: UFC Star Sean Strickland Praises Trump After Meeting

UFC superstar Sean Strickland had high praise for former President Donald Trump in a YouTube video he posted recapping the pair’s Vegas meeting over the weekend.

“Actually a really solid guy. I didn’t know if I would like Donald Trump but … [he’s] really authentic, really authentic. Yeah, really nice. You know, I think that I need to run a rally for Trump,” Strickland said in his Monday YouTube video.

His call to lead a rally is a reiteration of an idea he proposed on Friday after first meeting Trump and posing for a fake face-to-face matchup with the former President.

 

Strickland praised Trump as a breath of fresh air juxtaposed with the divisive rhetoric of the Biden campaign.

“I love the people. I feel like Trump’s people are my people, you know? Like, I love the people. What I like about Trump, though, there’s no boogeyman. There’s no … at his rallies, it’s America first. But there’s no black vs. white, there’s none of that. All he says is we’re Americans and that’s something I really fucking find refreshing. Because you go with Biden and … every time Biden talks it’s black vs. white, it’s this vs. that. It’s just nice to be reminded that we’re all Americans.”

The praise holds even more weight with Strickland’s caveat that he didn’t vote for Trump in the Republican primary.

“Here’s the thing, dude. I’m not saying I’d vote for Trump in the primaries you guys. I like the Trumpster but … I’m not saying that I voted for him the primaries but, you know, if he gets the nominee, Trump 2024.” (RELATED: ‘There’s No Leashes’: Post-Fight Press Asks 3x About Censoring Sean Strickland Until Dana White Finally Had Enough)

The ringing endorsement seems to mark a shift in thinking for the polarizing firebrand Strickland, who has made waves in recent months after criticizing many elements of the woke agenda and hilariously ripping into the corporate Canadian media.

Strickland concluded that Trump is not infallible and that he’s just a man like everyone else, but noted that he respects him.

“You should always respect a man’s accomplishments, but you should never forget he’s just a man. And when it comes to Trump, Trump is just a man. We’re all just men. But he’s accomplished a lot and that is respectable.”

Readers,

Instead of sucking up to the political and corporate powers that dominate America, The Daily Caller is fighting for you — our readers. We humbly ask you to consider joining us in this fight.

Now that millions of readers are rejecting the increasingly biased and even corrupt corporate media and joining us daily, there are powerful forces lined up to stop us: the old guard of the news media hopes to marginalize us; the big corporate ad agencies want to deprive us of revenue and put us out of business; senators threaten to have our reporters arrested for asking simple questions; the big tech platforms want to limit our ability to communicate with you; and the political party establishments feel threatened by our independence.

We don't complain -- we can't stand complainers -- but we do call it how we see it. We have a fight on our hands, and it's intense. We need your help to smash through the big tech, big media and big government blockade.

We're the insurgent outsiders for a reason: our deep-dive investigations hold the powerful to account. Our original videos undermine their narratives on a daily basis. Even our insistence on having fun infuriates them -- because we won’t bend the knee to political correctness.

One reason we stand apart is because we are not afraid to say we love America. We love her with every fiber of our being, and we think she's worth saving from today’s craziness.

Help us save her.

A second reason we stand out is the sheer number of honest responsible reporters we have helped train. We have trained so many solid reporters that they now hold prominent positions at publications across the political spectrum. Hear a rare reasonable voice at a place like CNN? There’s a good chance they were trained at Daily Caller. Same goes for the numerous Daily Caller alumni dominating the news coverage at outlets such as Fox News, Newsmax, Daily Wire and many others.

Simply put, America needs solid reporters fighting to tell the truth or we will never have honest elections or a fair system. We are working tirelessly to make that happen and we are making a difference.

Since 2010, The Daily Caller has grown immensely. We're in the halls of Congress. We're in the Oval Office. And we're in up to 20 million homes every single month. That's 20 million Americans like you who are impossible to ignore.

We can overcome the forces lined up against all of us. This is an important mission but we can’t do it unless you — the everyday Americans forgotten by the establishment — have our back.

Please consider becoming a Daily Caller Patriot today, and help us keep doing work that holds politicians, corporations and other leaders accountable. Help us thumb our noses at political correctness. Help us train a new generation of news reporters who will actually tell the truth. And help us remind Americans everywhere that there are millions of us who remain clear-eyed about our country's greatness.

In return for membership, Daily Caller Patriots will be able to read The Daily Caller without any of the ads that we have long used to support our mission. We know the ads drive you crazy. They drive us crazy too. But we need revenue to keep the fight going. If you join us, we will cut out the ads for you and put every Lincoln-headed cent we earn into amplifying our voice, training even more solid reporters, and giving you the ad-free experience and lightning fast website you deserve.

Patriots will also be eligible for Patriots Only content, newsletters, chats and live events with our reporters and editors. It's simple: welcome us into your lives, and we'll welcome you into ours.

We can save America together.
