WASHINGTON \u2014 Sean Strickland knew he wasn\u2019t welcome at the UFC White House event, showed up anyway, and was quickly thrown out by Secret Service.<\/p>\n

The UFC middleweight champion showed up at The Ellipse Fan Fest event Sunday evening filled with thousands of rambunctious fans and jumped into a ring with what appeared to be a beer in his hand.<\/p>\n

Strickland began chugging the beer in the ring as fans ran to him in shock to see him in the area.<\/p>\n

Shortly after his shock appearance, he was grabbed and thrown out of the event. <\/p>\n

He later posted on social media an image of himself being thrown out of the event barefoot by a roughly a dozen service men with a big smile on his face.<\/p>\n

\u201cBest fans in the world,\u201d Strickland said in the post.<\/p>\n

Strickland added afterwards from what appeared to be his hotel room that he \u201cmay have been charged with disorderly conduct.\u201d<\/p>\n

UFC President Dana White had said earlier in the week that Strickland wasn\u2019t banned from the event, but rather he is \u201cnot invited.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cI just want to prove that I\u2019m Israeli enough for you guys,\u201d Strickland added. <\/p>\n

Strickland has been a bit inconsistent in his thoughts on the card, however, at one point he said he didn\u2019t want to attend the card at all.<\/p>\n

\u201cJust to go hang out with the f\u2013king Epstein list? I\u2019m good dog,\u201d Strickland said before crashing the party.<\/p>\n

\n<\/div>\n

\u201cSean Strickland is banned from humanity, OK?\u201d White said this week.<\/p>\n

The UFC\u2019s White House event was briefly delayed due to rain but the event has gone on without a hitch in the early going.<\/p>\n

Strickland does not have a fight scheduled currently, but he is coming off a shocking defeat of Khamzat Chimaev for the middleweight title.<\/p>\n
