The give and take between Khamzat Shimaev e Sean Strickland It's going full steam ahead. No UFC 328at the event taking place this Saturday (9), in New Jersey (USA), the American challenges the middleweight champion (up to 83,9 kg) in the main fight and, before the anticipated clash happens, he has been doing everything to torment him. Always vocal, the bad boy intensified the animosity with the Russian to such an extent that even the organization was affected.

On his official 'X' account, Strickland simply accused the UFC of protecting Chimaev and, not satisfied with that, implied that he chose to prioritize him. It's worth noting that Dana White, the company's leader, did in fact admit that, fearing the worst might happen between the athletes backstage at the event, promotional face-offs, held with the intention of promoting the fights, will be avoided.

In any case, the American is pessimistic and says that, even with the reinforced security provided by the UFC to protect his physical integrity and that of 'Borz', he is likely to be punished, justifying the tense atmosphere surrounding the show. Furthermore, Strickland threatened Chimaev, stating that he could shoot him if a fight broke out before the event. Now, to make matters worse, the bad boy has referred to the champion with an extremely offensive term.

“The UFC is trying to limit my interactions with the dog. I’ll say it now. I will not be controlled by a third-world dog. If I perceive unequal treatment between our teams, I will go to the lobby and wait for him. Control your prostitute or not. I don’t care. Let things happen as they have to happen, this is America,” wrote the former UFC champion.

“During fight week, I’ll be in handcuffs. The fact is, there’s this damn goat-obsessed guy out there who shouldn’t even be allowed in America making threats. Do you think I give a damn about some stupid goat-obsessed bastard?” he concluded.
