Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) interim Lightweight champion, Justin Gaethje, collides with reigning 155-pound kingpin, Ilia Topuria, to unify the division title at UFC Freedom 250<\/a> next weekend (Sun., June 14, 2026) in front of the White House on the South Lawn in Washington, D.C., to celebrate America\u2019s 250th anniversary<\/a>.<\/p>\n

And as if Gaethje doesn\u2019t have enough on his plate with Topuria<\/a> \u2014 and the incoming trash talk that \u201cEl Matador\u201d is surely going to bring next week \u2014 he now has beef with foul-mouthed UFC Middleweight champion Sean Strickland over … being American.<\/p>\n

It all started with Gaethje calling Strickland \u201cdumb as f\u2014k<\/a>\u201d for bashing the upcoming historic event.<\/p>\n

Then, Strickland unloaded.<\/p>\n

\u201cIf being a spineless b*tch makes you a good America you can have that title,\u201d Strickland wrote on social media. \u201cEat your goy slop. Just do me a favor and switch your flag [to Israel]. 5k to 15k cost to every hard-working American, not getting paid millions. 13 dead Americans for Israel. Traitor.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cI don\u2019t give two shits about you or Israel. God, family, country since day 1,\u201d Gaethje wrote. \u201cYou are dumb as f\u2014k, you bash our country every chance you get and expect to step foot on the White House grounds. Have a party with the rest of your American-hating goons.\u201d<\/p>\n

That\u2019ll probably last all of five minutes, though.<\/p>\n

Still, the UFC Middleweight champion continued his onslaught of Gaethje.<\/p>\n

\u201c\u2018You hate America.\u2019 Did your handler give you that line?\u201d Strickland wrote. \u201cI love America and criticize the administration because everyone on this earth understands he is controlled by AIPAC. Iran will have nukes next month 20 years ago. … \u2018I have the list on my desk.\u2019 Just stop.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cWhen Justin leaves the room, we all look at each other and think, \u2018Damn, we really need to spar less,\u2019\u201d Strickland continued. \u201cMan can\u2019t even get through a sentence, and now he\u2019s explaining to me I hate America because I don\u2019t support the 15k Trump tax on families because of the Israeli war. Insane.\u201d<\/p>\n

Of course, none of this has anything to do with Gaethje\u2019s actual fight.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe Highlight\u201d is a week away from the biggest opportunities of his career, where he will try to hand Topuria his first professional loss and become the undisputed Lightweight champion on one of the strangest stages UFC has ever promoted.<\/p>\n

But with Strickland banned from the White House, Gaethje defending the event, and Topuria waiting in the wings, UFC Freedom 250 is already becoming exactly what everyone expected it to be:<\/p>\n
