Chimaev says he won't kill Strickland, calls it haram

Khamzat Chimaev addressed speculation about what would happen if he gets Sean Strickland in a submission during their fight. When asked if security would need to intervene because he wouldn't let go, Chimaev laughed and said he doesn't want to kill anyone because it's haram (forbidden). He clarified that while on the street someone could die, inside the cage it's a sport and officials wouldn't allow him to kill his opponent anyway. The comments came during an interview with Zubayraev ahead of his bout with Strickland.
