MMA fighter-turned-famous TikTok food critic Keith Lee fires back at controversial UFC star Sean Strickland.

Last week, Strickland shared the story of meeting Lee at the gym.

According to Strickland, Lee tried to argue with him about racial issues at the gym and said Lee later accused him of being racist.

“He walked up to me and tried to talk to me about race, he tried to have this systematic racial oppression s—…like I don’t disagree…but I’m not trying to have this debate in the gym, I’m trying to work out”

“So he comes up to me and starts accusing me of being f—– racist and I’m like what are we doing f—– here man like I’m racist, I’m the most honest mfer out there”

Strickland said he started trying to drive Lee crazy by making outlandish comments, and Lee responded by saying he didn’t like white people.

“Anytime you talk to someone racist, and I know this because I was a little racist, anytime you talk to someone racist and you want to fuck them, you just have to talk about f—– the sx, the race of whatever they are.”

“So I’m like you Lee, I’m not racist, IF more black women than you, bro, how am I racist and I said that just to p- scare him off. I said that just to piss him off and I was like ‘brother, relax, I know you have a little white woman at home, relax’ and I’m just poking him but I’m making it funny and he’s like ‘no F that, I don’t like white people!’

“Notice, Curt (Chris Curtis) is sitting right next to me, Jason Manly, another black guy, is sitting right next to me and they’re just sitting there, silent, while this racist mfer says his dislike for white people.

On Monday night, Lee took to TikTok and made a video claiming Strickland was making false accusations against him.

“I received a week in a row of false allegations, negative comments and backlash for something I didn’t do.”

“Yes, me and Sean had a conversation. No, the conversation did not go as he described it. Sean Strickland is an MMA fighter known for saying divisive things. I approached him and two people I consider friends already having a chat after practice. I joined the conversation and the conversation was already on the run.

According to Lee, here’s how he responded to Sean’s bizarre comments about dating more black women than him.

“Never at any point did I say I didn’t love anyone, I just disagreed with what he said and instead of fighting ignorance with ignorance I said no, I’m married with kids and I’m very proud of the family that God has allowed me to build and I immediately disagreed with all the ignorant and nasty comments he made and I was no longer interested in carrying on the conversation.”

“I don’t have bad feelings and I don’t wish Sean Strickland anything bad, I just want that clarified.”

Update: Sean Strickland has responded to Lee’s video.
