A UFC middleweight champion uploaded a video showing himself teaching children how to load a belt-fed machine gun. He compared the experience to an African rebel teaching young kids the same skill. He captioned the post as passing on valuable skills to the youth and paying it forward. The champion has previously drawn backlash for controversial views on gun control, including owning a large gun collection and encouraging others to exercise their rights. He also criticized the Australian government’s gun laws ahead of a rematch in Sydney, where Australia banned guns after the 1996 Port Arthur massacre. He recently won the middleweight title in an upset and acknowledged another fighter as the next deserving contender.
""I'm teaching the youth valuable skills... I would imagine this is how an African rebel feels, teaching kids how to load a belt-fed machine gun," Strickland said."
