Sean Strickland responded to Khamzat Chimaev posting their sparring footage by calling Chimaev a weak person. Strickland characterized the session as light sparring and warmup rounds, not a serious test. He explained that they sparred only once in a three-round session, and he had wanted to spar with the best fighters in the gym, but claims Chimaev usually prefers to work with lower-level training partners. Strickland downplayed the significance of the video and made personal remarks about their differences. The exchange adds to the ongoing verbal buildup between the two fighters.
