Sean Strickland has stated that the UFC is attempting to restrict his interactions with Hamzat Chimaev during the upcoming fight week.

He challenged the organization to either control Chimaev or not, stating he doesn't care either way. Strickland emphasized that everything should proceed freely, noting "this is America." The post suggests tensions are high heading into their scheduled bout.
