Interesting seeing Sean Strickland criticize Khamzat Chimaev over sparring actual fighters when he publicly went hard on Sneako, who isn’t even a fighter.

Khamzat Chimaev on Sean Strickland 🔥
“Everybody tries, nobody can. It doesn’t work with me. I used to train with him and beat him up every day. He didn’t like training with me. We had a team chat… when I went to Xtreme Couture, he’d go to the UFC PI. When I went to the UFC PI, he’d go to Xtreme.
When I went back home, he started talking bad about me. Maybe because I used to destroy him in the gym. When I hit him hard, he’d run to his coach and say I needed to calm down.
Everybody knows what happens Saturday. I’m going in there and smashing that guy.” 🔥

Joshua Van doesn’t believe Alexandre Pantoja’s injury was an accident and says he caused it 👀
“I don’t think it was an accident, I made it happen. He kicked me, I pushed him. I think a black belt should know how to fall.”

Aleksandre’s advice to Ilia for Gaethje 🔥
“Gaethje chooses his shots when you’re in front of him. He’s very vulnerable when he throws, but it’s a double-edged sword to trade with him. You have to be very selective. When he throws, that’s when he’s most open because he doesn’t hit clean.
“If you choose to hit him when he’s open, it’s because you calculated it.”

Ilia Topuria says fighting at the White House is not political for him 🥊
“Sport has no flags. I compete and work for a company. If the UFC tells me to be there, I go and do my job. This isn’t a political stance.”
“The White House doesn’t belong to one person, it belongs to everyone. One day it’s one, tomorrow it’s another.”
Sean Strickland on Khamzat Chimaev 👀
“You think you’re tough? We’ll see who can take more in there. There isn’t a lower human being on this earth than Khamzat Chimaev. No matter how good of a fighter you are, you’ll always be a dictator’s b*tch.” 😳

Strickland Breaks Down Khamzat’s Style 👀🔥
“Nothing he does is something I haven’t seen. I’ve trained with that style of grapplers for so long where it’s like you know what they’re gonna do. They’re going to grab you, hug your legs, maybe hit a crucifix. He’s not gonna dry hump my legs for 25 minutes.”

Why did Karate Combat match Larissa Pacheco, the only woman to beat Kayla Harrison and one of the best female fighters alive, with a 0-0 fighter (1-1 amateur)?
Who approved this? 😠
