Sean Strickland teaches kids 'valuable' skills

UFC middleweight champion Sean Strickland has drawn controversy after uploading a video in which he teaches children how to load a belt-fed machine gun. In the clip, Strickland compares the experience to "an African rebel teaching young kids the same skill," framing the demonstration as passing on "valuable skills to the youth." Strickland, who owns an extensive firearms collection, has long advocated for gun rights and has faced backlash over his strong stance on Second Amendment issues. The video represents another flashpoint in his pattern of polarizing public statements.
