Nassourdine Imavov promises no happy ending for Sean Strickland

Nassourdine Imavov has responded to Sean Strickland's recent comments, stating that insults about religion, family, and nation are not marketing to him and that every insult has a price. Imavov declared there will be no happy ending for Strickland and promised that he would rather die than embrace him after their fight. A subscriber asked him not to hug Strickland at the end, to which Imavov emphatically replied "NEVER!" The emotional response suggests deep personal offense taken at Strickland's pre-fight comments.
