Sean
\nStrickland<\/a> has serious bad blood with Khamzat
\nChimaev<\/a>. <\/p>\n

Strickland (30-7) is scheduled to challenge Chimaev (15-0) for the
\nmiddleweight title in the main event at UFC 328<\/a>
\non May 9 at the Prudential Center in Newark, New Jersey. Strickland
\nand Chimaev’s beef leading up to the fight goes beyond the
\ncustomary trash talk. <\/p>\n

Chimaev recently said that Strickland would flee if he confronted
\nhim with his gang, as the former middleweight champion has no
\nfriends. Known for his controversial take on gun control,
\nStrickland says he would just shoot Chimaev\u2019s gang if they tried to
\njump him. <\/p>\n

Fighters with even long-standing beefs often bury the hatchet after
\nsharing the Octagon. However, Strickland doesn\u2019t think he will be
\ncordial with Chimaev ever. According to Strickland, the loser of
\nhis fight with Chimaev will have to swallow a bitter pill and live
\nwith it forever.<\/p>\n

‘We Die Enemies’<\/h2>\n

\u201cIf you come up to me with three goat-f\u2014-ing Chechnyans that don\u2019t
\nspeak English, I\u2019m going to pull my gun, and I\u2019m going to shoot
\neach and every one of you,\u201d Strickland told The Mac Life<\/a>. \u201cThe s\u2014y thing is that whoever
\nwins is gonna have bragging rights, and whoever doesn\u2019t is just
\ngonna have to eat s\u2014t till they die\u2026 I think me and f\u2014-ing Khamzat,
\nwe die enemies.\u201d<\/p>\n

Chimaev and Strickland\u2019s beef stems from their short time training
\ntogether at the Xtreme Couture gym. While Chimaev claims to have
\nsubmitted Strickland, the latter dismisses it as a stray incident
\nin situational grappling.  <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
