Sean Strickland went off on Khamzat Chimaev.
When Chimaev first introduced himself inside the Octagon, fight fans immediately became enamored with the undefeated Chechen monster. Unfortunately, the love affair quickly turned contentious for a number of reasons, chief among them being his close-knit relationship with Chechen warlord Ramzan Kadyrov.
Chimaev was regularly spotted canoodling with Kadyrov, who has been accused of multiple human rights violations against women and members of the LGBTQ community. In fact, it was Chimaev’s relationship with Kadyrov that prevented ‘Borz’ from competing in the United States for nearly three years.
