Strickland sends retaliation message after Khamzat issues threat

Due to magnitude of their rivalry, UFC boss Dana White has already expressed a number of concern and has said that there will likely be a number of security during fight week.

After Strickland threatened to shoot him together with his message, Chimaev responded by saying that he doesn’t think the previous champion really wants war outside of the cage, and if he did, he can be ‘dead already’.

And with tensions continuing to rise, Strickland has issued one other message to Chimaev, calling ‘Borz’ a ‘coward’.

“Because of this you’re a coward. We are going to jump you, my Muslim friends will jump you. You would possibly live in America but you’ve no idea what it’s prefer to be an American or a person. If I ever said I’ll jump you, I wouldn’t have the option to take a look at myself within the mirror, coward,” Strickland said in a post on X.

Ahead of his first middleweight title defense, the Chechen champion has made it clear that he isn’t too interested at sticking to 185lbs for the foreseeable future and has hinted at a possible move as much as light heavyweight.

Although fans have develop into quite uninterested in seeing champions immediately move up or down in weight after winning a title, now would appear to be the proper time for Chimaev to maneuver as much as 205lbs.

The present champion, Carlos Ulberg, is about to be out of motion for not less than a 12 months after suffering a torn ACL in his recent win over Jiri Prochazka.

And with that, Chimaev has been pitched to fight in an interim title fight against his other rival, Paulo Costa by UFC commentator Joe Rogan.
