UFC star Sean Strickland flashes gun at pranksters outside his home

Viral doorbell footage of Sean Strickland shows the former UFC fighter brandishing a gun to pranksters outside his home, only six months after he held a man at gunpoint on his property. 

Strickland, who last fought in the Octagon in January, told TMZ that the incident took place over the weekend, roughly at 1 a.m. on Saturday.

According to the fighter, several teens jumped out of a car and got onto Strickland's front yard before making a loud bang near the home's entry after getting around the house.

The home's surveillance video then shows Strickland walking out with a bathrobe in reaction to the noise, as he can be seen with a firearm in his left hand. No shots were fired. 

'You guys have a car, it's a Friday night,' Strickland said in a caption of the footage shared on his Instagram. 'Why aren't you out trying to get P? Kids these days. All the wrong priorities.'

It remains unclear if the teens intentionally knew they were pranking Strickland. 

But, the 33-year-old hinted at previously similar incidents, like when he pointed a gun at a trespasser on his driveway while the man was running away from cops back in Nov. 2023. 

'Didn't see the doorbell alert till after...,' he said. 'Just so you all know! I get crazy stuff sent to my house.... lol!' 

Strickland also once chased a man with a flamethrower in x.  

In September, the American stunned Israel Adesanya to win the middleweight title at UFC 293.

His next fight will be against Paulo Costa at UFC 302 on June 1. Strickland lost in five rounds by decision to Dricus Du Plessis in January.
