Chimaev explains why he actively engaged in UFC 328 press conference trash talk

Khamzat Chimaev explained his decision to respond aggressively during the recent UFC 328 press conference with Sean Strickland. He stated that he does not like it when someone talks trash, and if they do, you must respond in kind. This marks a notable shift from Chimaev's typically quiet demeanor at press events. The press conference became highly confrontational, with Chimaev matching Strickland's verbal intensity.
