Per MMA Fighting:
UFC middleweight champion Sean Strickland could be looking a misdemeanor charge for disorderly conduct after sneaking into the UFC Fan Fest at the White House on Sunday.
After claiming he was banned from attending the historic event, Strickland still made his way to Washington D.C. where he was mobbed by fans during the pre-fight press conference on Friday. Strickland then attempted to find a way into the fan fest happening at the Ellipse near the White House but that plan also went awry.
While he did manage to make it inside and actually jump in a WWE ring set up at the event, Strickland was quickly removed by security and escorted out.
Strickland wasn’t arrested but he claims he may be facing a disorderly conduct charge, which is a Class B misdemeanor in Washington D.C. punishable by up to 90 days in jail and up to a $500 fine or both.

Earlier in the month, Strickland claimed he was banned from the UFC Freedom 250 event due to his recent criticism of President Trump and the Iran war.
UFC President, Dana White has refuted Strickland’s claims and has gone on record saying Strickland is not banned but rather he is not on the guest list due to a limited number of seats being available at the venue.
