But the event’s politics are heating up: former champ Sean Strickland, who’s never been invited despite being the only American male champ left out, is planning a protest outside with his belt and bullhorn, blaming political views for his exclusion. Fighters like Bryce Mitchell are rallying behind him, while Gaethje has called him out. Neither UFC nor the White House has confirmed or denied Strickland’s ban, and rumors of Netanyahu’s possible appearance remain unconfirmed. The MMA world is watching closely as this high-stakes spectacle unfolds. Support the show: Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
