UFC fighter Sean Strickland urges Trump not to be 'involved in Israel's war'

What does the escalation and potential American involvement in the Iran/Israel conflict mean for 'America First?' Will Cain says the answer depends on two key questions: Does it help us, and what's the cost to America?

One-time UFC middleweight champion Sean Strickland made his stance clear on the notion of America joining Israel in a war against Iran on Tuesday. 

The 34-year-old fighter sent a post on X, in response to a post from President Donald Trump, urging the commander in chief not to involve the U.S. in the ongoing conflict. Trump's post boasted about the U.S. military taking "complete and total control over the skies of Iran."

"America doesn't want to be involved in Israel's war...... This is not our war. We don't want it. You were elected by the people. Listen to the people who elected you. WE DO NOT WANT THIS!!!!" Strickland wrote in response to Trump. 

Strickland has previously expressed support for Trump, and the president has occasionally been in attendance to watch Strickland fight in the Octagon at past events. 

Strickland even publicly declared his support for Trump after a win over Paulo Costa at UFC 302 in June 2024. 

However, Strickland has also been vocal in his stance that he does not want Trump to side with Israel at the cost of American interest. 

In a Feb. 10 X post, Strickland even suggested he would start waiving a Palestinian flag amid reports of a deal for Trump to sell $8 billion worth of arms to Israel.

"Man if Trump keeps this bs up I'm about to start waving a Palestinian flag.. American cities are shitholes and you wanna go spend billions on this dumpster fire.. Did we make a mistake?! This ain't America first.." Strickland wrote.
