Media Nice beef brewing between Khamzat and Strickland

I can't listen to Strickland for more than 30 seconds. He's like one of those idiots who likes to talk about political stuff trying to sound educated but just sounds like a fool. He's basically a championship level War Room poster.

Not on same level?

Literally both in top 3 MWs.

Inb4……yeah well, you know.

Yes, just like he knows Alex is the superior fighter to him.

Even Strickland says it out loud.

Sean Strickland told rival Khamzat Chimaev to ‘Be nice . . . You’re better than everybody’ while training together​

“Be nice!” Strickland tells the fighter. “Have you sparred him? He gets a little bit — [Strickland turns to Chimaev] Be nice. Understand, you’re better than most of – you’re better than everybody. Don’t hurt people.”

I think he knows they are going to face each other real soon on their journey to the belt and is building the "hype/rivalry" now.
Sonnen read a text he got from Strickland in the aftermath of Chimaev’s incredible performance.

“‘How locked in were you, Sean?’ And this is what I asked him, and I’m going to make this public, you’ll make me look good if you give me a quote you didn’t give anybody else,’” Sonnen said on Good Guy / Bad Guy. “Here’s, eventually, what he said:

“And I quote, ‘I’m next in line. It has been said, it has been written’ — I wish he would’ve elaborated on that. ‘After I beat Dricus up, Chimaev can step up. And to the point that Chimaev is a contender, I welcome that, but I have Dricus next. The man who scammed his [fans], became friends with a dictator and had to flee his homeland while staying on the run needs to tighten his own leash up a little bit. Hey Chimaev, sit down and wait your turn.”

Yeah, so they are on the same level as we speak, regardless what transpires in the future.

One of the most bizarre phenomenons in our current world is that fame comes with this platform.which both the famous person (usually) and a variety of fucktards, take to mean that this person, in this case someone getting punched in the head for a living, should be listened to about their POLITICAL opinions.

Same for film and music. As Ricky Gervais said, "take your little trophy, thank your agent and FUCK OFF, don't lecture us about the real world from your stupid little soapbox." (Approximately)
 
Kind of a weird situation, as they have trained together in the past.

Might be a good fight though, as Sean is pretty hard to finish, and has decent TDD and scrambles back to his feet.

I could see Khamzat dominating early, but if he doesn't finish Sean in under 2 rounds it could get interesting.

If that's the way you look at it.

Marvin Vettori is also on "the same level" but I don't think he's anywhere as good as most of the other fighters in his division.

Especially compared to those at the top.

Will be interesting to watch how it plays out...


I think Sean comes out more aggressive, hoping to get that KO.

A patient approach favors Dricus.
 
When Sean cries its because his daddy didn't love him

When Khamzat cries it's because he feels the pain of an entire nation



not gonna lie this video rekt me when I first saw it and just got me again. Made me respect Khamzat.

Strickland is just a self centered selfish prick.

dricus and strickland being top 3 middleweights really makes no sense given their styles lol, they look so goofy but are effective. I think Chimaev and Borrahlo beat both though

They are not on the same level when it comes to dominating and finishing fights, or even regarding the level of intensity they fight with. Odds would likely reflect that as well.

Irrelevant.

Very good chance Khamzat climbs the mountain at MW, but as it stands, right now he edged a WW with bad knees, on a weeks notice, and beat a former champion due to a freak injury.

Very likely the guy can win gold, but he still has a shit load to prove first.

Strickland is a bit basic, sure, and am sure most would pick Chimaev to beat him, but he has earned a bit of respect with his recent run.
 
I feel like Sean can’t really talk shit seeing as he’s basically admitted that Khamzat ragdolled him in sparring.
