Sean Strickland has issued a scathing response to comments made by Brendan Allen about him. Strickland claimed that Chris Curtis has beaten Allen twice on short notice, with one decision being stolen by what he called racist judges. He called Allen "the definition of the word pussy" and accused him of stupidity. Strickland mocked Allen for training with current champion Khamzat Chimaev while trying to compete for a title, suggesting that the world is watching Chimaev beat Allen repeatedly in sparring. Strickland concluded by saying Allen is delusional and will never fight for a championship, and predicted that his friend Edmen will soon defeat Allen.
