Khamzat Chimaev Responds to Strickland with Personal Video
Khamzat Chimaev and Sean Strickland, formerly teammates at Xtreme Couture, are engaged in a war of words ahead of Saturday’s middleweight title fight at UFC 312.
Ahead of his main event rematch against Dricus Du Plessis, Sean Strickland took a shot at Khamzat Chimaev’s political ties, prompting a sharp retort from Chimaev, who referenced Strickland’s troubled childhood with his father.
Chimaev posted a video mocking Strickland’s emotional interview with Theo Von, in which Strickland tearfully recounted his traumatic childhood.
