Video | Sean Strickland has a run-in with Machine Gun Kelly in Las Vegas: “I almost hit a vampire tonight”

Former UFC middleweight champion Sean Strickland had a run-in with Machine Gun Kelly on Friday night in Las Vegas.

Strickland and Kelly were both in attendance for yesterday’s Power Slap event at Durango Casino & Resort. At some point during the evening, the former UFC champion and Music Star crossed paths which led to a verbal spat between the two men.

What spawned the confrontation remains unclear, but Strickland can be heard calling Machine Gun Kelly “weird” while throwing out other insults regarding the musician’s attire. After being separated, Strickland turned around and said, “I’m easy to find, vampire man.”

Before video of the incident hit social media, Sean Strickland had taken to ‘X‘ with the following tweet:

“Man I just found out about Megan… Daa f*ck has happened since transformers?! I’m done… goodnight.. fuck… fuck…. I’m done…”

Sean Strickland (28-6 MMA) most recently competed at last month’s UFC 297 event in Toronto, where he suffered a split decision loss to Dricus Du Plessis to relinquish his middleweight world title.

‘Tarzan’ was initially campaigning for an immediate rematch with the South African, but it appears that Dana White and company have others plan for DDP’s first attempt at a title defense.
