Baysangur Susurkayev recounts hard sparring session with Strickland at UFC PI

Baysangur Susurkayev shared details of his encounter with Sean Strickland at the UFC Performance Institute, where they sparred just two weeks before Strickland's fight with Hernandez. Susurkayev said he landed hard leg kicks at full power during their session, but Strickland never asked him to ease up or be more careful despite the proximity to his fight. This contrasted sharply with many American fighters who request lighter sparring even a month before their bouts. Susurkayev praised Strickland's toughness and character, noting that Strickland expressed respect for Chechen fighters during their meeting.
