Quick read
Sean Strickland posted a controversial tweet criticizing New York and its residents ahead of his fight with Khamzat Chimaev in Newark, New Jersey. The bout will take place at Prudential Center, approximately 35 minutes from Central Park by car. Rather than engaging in typical pre-fight promotion of the host city, Strickland called New York "the perfect example of what it means to be a Democrat," describing children, adults, and leaders as "pathetic." He concluded that New York and the majority of its inhabitants are "a disgrace to America," stating residents are either criminals or wealthy people without principles. The remarks represent an unusual approach to pre-fight promotion in the New York metropolitan area.
