Sean Strickland threatens to shoot Khamzat Chimaev if attacked by his team

Sean Strickland made inflammatory remarks about Khamzat Chimaev and his team, threatening violence if confronted. Strickland stated he would use his firearm if Chimaev approached him with members of his Chechen team. The middleweight used highly offensive and xenophobic language to describe potential members of Chimaev's entourage. He claimed he would shoot each of them in sequence if such a confrontation occurred. This is the latest in ongoing verbal exchanges between the two fighters.
