Cliff Notes:
- Looks unimpressed by Khamzat's performance against a Welterweight stepping up to Middleweight
- Does not believe Khamzat deserves a title shot, but says since they promised it to him, give him the title shot
- Dismisses Khamzat's statements that he was manhandled by Khamzat in sparring and training sessions.
- Reveals he almost came to a real fight with Khamzat where he said something about Chechnya and Khamzat misunderstood it escalating the situation.
- He gave 3:00 PM time the next day asking Khamzat to show up with gloves or no gloves as it did not matter so that they could have a real fight. Khamzat was a no show.
- Says Khamzat knows well that if they had to fight right there and then in studio, Strickland would do it. "Fight to the death".
