Francis Ngannou says the UFC touched his ego in the wrong way and that’s when he knew he wanted out of his contract 👀‼️ “I think the mistake that the UFC did was they got to the point that hit my ego. I felt like I wasn’t respected, and that was the moment I was like, ‘I’m getting out of this contract.’ When something touches my ego, I don’t care about anything.” (via @dc_mma )

🚨 Khamzat Chimaev's brother says his body "shut down" during the weight cut for the Sean Strickland fight 😳 He says Khamzat originally had a deal in place to fight Jiri Prochazka at 205, but the UFC later called asking him to fight Strickland instead According to him, Khamzat weighed as much as 231 lbs, and was still 214 lbs just two weeks before the fight "There was a problem with the weight cut. The question became whether to cancel the fight or take the risk. When there was 1.2 kg left, his body shut down... Oxygen deprivation. His body malfunctioned. We had to stop for an hour because his health wouldn't allow him to continue... Khamzat himself said he didn't know how he'd fight in that condition. There was an agreement with the UFC that he would fight Jiri Prochazka at 205. The contract was already prepared, but then they asked him to fight Sean instead... so he accepted ands decided to cut from 105 kg [231 lbs] down to 84 kg [185 lbs]. By fight time he had only regained around 5-6 kg [11-13 lbs]... Two weeks before the fight he weighed 97 kg [214 lbs]. We've requested a rematch with Strickland. There's an event in Abu Dhabi in October and we want to do it there. Khamzat isn't the type of person to move to another weight class and leave unanswered questions behind. We want the second fight. Right now we have no other goals." (via @sportsru)

😭 Sean Strickland refused to respond to Nassourdine Imavov’s callout: Sean: “You gonna put me on racism again, that’s what you trying huh?” Reporter: “Let’s avoid the racism.” Sean: “Nuh guys, come on, I can’t about racism.” (via @home_of_fight & @JakeNoecker)

Henry Cejudo thought that Khamzat Chimaev won the fight 🤔 "I thought Khamzat Chimaev actually won this fight. And again, I was rooting for Sean Strickland. Khamzat made the mistake when he went for the takedown [ In the second round ]. Once you get hurt and start shooting for takedowns, bro, that’s not good. It could’ve gone 4-1 Chimaev or maybe 3-2 Chimaev. via: @pound4poundshow
