Baysangur Susurkayev recounts full-intensity sparring with Sean Strickland

Baysangur Susurkayev shared details of his sparring session with Sean Strickland at the UFC Performance Institute, which took place just two weeks before Strickland's fight with Hernandez. Susurkayev described landing hard leg kicks at full intensity during the session. He noted that Strickland never asked him to reduce the power or be more careful despite the proximity to his upcoming fight, contrasting this with many American fighters who request lighter sparring even a month before competition. Susurkayev also mentioned that Strickland expressed respect for Chechen fighters, calling them good fighters and worthy people. The session highlighted Strickland's willingness to train hard regardless of circumstances.
