Quick read
Sean Strickland posted a controversial tweet attacking New York and its residents ahead of his fight against Khamzat Chimaev in Newark, New Jersey. Newark's Prudential Center is located just 35 minutes from Central Park in Manhattan. Instead of the typical pre-fight pleasantries athletes usually offer about a host city, Strickland called New York 'the perfect example of what it means to be a Democrat.' He described children, adults, and leaders in the city as 'pathetic' and said New Yorkers are either criminals or 'rich pussies without a backbone.' The inflammatory comments represent Strickland's characteristic confrontational style ahead of his upcoming middleweight bout.
