Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) is doing everything in its power to prevent a pre-fight altercation between Khamzat Chimaev and Sean Strickland ahead of their middleweight title fight at UFC 328 next weekend in Newark, New Jersey, which is why the promotion is limiting all interactions between the two unpredictable fighters.
Earlier this week, the trash talk between Chimaev and Strickland hit an all-time high. That’s because Strickland was given a platform to speak and proceeded to threaten to shoot
Khamzat and his entire team if they pressed him before the fight. Chimaev, who is no stranger to out-of-cage incidents, was quick to respond in saying Strickland “wants no war” because he’d be “dead already.”
Team Chimaev tried to downplay the trash talk, but the bad blood is beginning to boil over.
On Friday, Strickland took to social media again to complain that UFC officials are keeping him from interacting with Khamzat and his teammates. It’s certainly for the best, but Strickland is once again threatening violence if the opportunity presents itself.

“The @UFC is trying to limit my interactions with the dog,“ wrote Strickland via X.
“Listen I will say this now. I will not be controlled by a third world dog…. If I find there is unequal treatment between our camps I will walk to the lobby and wait for him.
“Control your whore or don’t. I don’t care. Let the chips fall where they may this is America…”
“The fight week will be me in handcuffs,” Strickland later added. “The fact there is this goat f—ker who shouldn’t even be allowed to be in America making threats. You think I give a flying f—k about some stupid goat f—ker.”
Khamzat fired back with another attempt to get under Strickland’s skin by using his past relationship with his father. Check it out below:
“You can cry that’s okay, your father make you a girl,” wrote Chimaev.
