TORONTO – UFC CEO Dana White has addressed Sean Strickland ’s viral, anti-LGBTQ comments from earlier this week. Strickland, who lost the UFC middleweight title Saturday at UFC 297 , was under fire and went viral on social media after going on an anti-LGBTQ rant at Wednesday’s media day. Over the years, White has taken a stance in which he doesn’t police most things said by fighters on the promotion’s roster. Despite this recent public backlash, White – not condoning or denouncing Strickland’s comments – kept true to his word and said Strickland was baited by the reporter with his question.
