Sean Strickland responds to Khamzat Chimaev's threats about New Jersey

Sean Strickland fired back at Khamzat Chimaev after the Chechen fighter mentioned New Jersey's Muslim community and suggested Strickland wouldn't be able to carry weapons there. Strickland called Chimaev a coward for making threats about having his friends attack him, stating: "That's why you're a coward. All these threats: 'We'll jump you, my Muslim friends will jump you.' You may live in America, but you have no idea what it means to be American or just a man." The exchange continues the ongoing verbal feud between the two middleweights.
