Sean Strickland responded to Nassourdine Imavov's post-fight callout at UFC 328, declining the matchup for now. Strickland stated he will take a short break and travel to support his friend Alex Pereira at an upcoming event at the White House. The response suggests Strickland is not immediately interested in facing Imavov despite the French contender's challenge. No timeline was given for Strickland's return to competition or his next opponent. Pereira's White House appearance appears to be related to an official engagement, though specific details are not provided in the post.
