Sean Strickland hits back at Shara Magomedov with ‘levels’ jab after UFC Baku victory

Sean Strickland has warned Shara Magomedov to slow his roll in response to his jibes on Saturday night.

Popular Russian star Magomedov defeated Michel Pereira within the UFC Baku co-main event, albeit after some questionable refereeing. The Brazilian is one in every of Strickland’s many sparring partners at Xtreme Couture in Las Vegas, and ‘Shara Bullet‘ used this as a probability to fireplace a shot on the champion.

Name a greater fight for each men…

In fact, Magomedov remains to be quite a distance from a title shot at middleweight and still has yet to land a top 15 rating. And this appears to be the crux of Strickland’s argument, which he made in a temporary response tweet today.

Sean Strickland reacts to Shara Magomedov’s ‘domestic champion’ jibe

Following his victory over Michel Pereira on Saturday night, Shara Magomedov was quoted as suggesting that Sean Strickland is one way or the other avoiding him by staying in America. The Russian claims to have visa issues, and can also be only capable of fight in select states as a result of having only one eye.

“He’s like a domestic champion,” Magomedov told Red Corner MMA. “Only a house pet who acts like an enormous hero in his gym, playing the hero somewhere. For instance, in the event that they told him without delay, ‘Come to Azerbaijan,’ he wouldn’t come. Just because he’s scared. He won’t leave America now, yeah.

“And if we needed to fight, he would say ‘Come to America,’ knowing that for me to go to America without delay, in the mean time, getting a visa isn’t figuring out. So, he’ll just stay a domestic champion.

“In case you tell him, ‘Come to Abu Dhabi,’ he’ll probably walk around with five security guards, and even then, he likely won’t go. There are various like that over there. They go, ‘I’m not going, and that’s it. I’m an American, so I’ll only fight here.’”

One baffled viewer of this clip was Josh Hokit, who asked why Magomedov was taking shots at Strickland despite being unranked. “It makes me laugh,” he wrote. “Bro you fought my teammate… There are levels to this haha.”
