Sean
\nStrickland<\/a> and Khamzat
\nChimaev<\/a> have raised questions about fake rivalry. <\/p>\n

Strickland dethroned Chimaev via split decision to win the
\nmiddleweight title at UFC 328<\/a>
\nlast weekend. While there appeared to be serious bad blood between
\nthe two leading up to the fight, it didn\u2019t reflect in the bout.
\nStrickland and Chimaev also quashed their beef after the fight,
\nhugging it out inside the Octagon. Strickland further admitted to
\ncrossing boundaries with his trash talk to sell the fight and
\napologized to Chimaev for the same. <\/p>\n

Nate
\nDiaz<\/a> isn\u2019t impressed by how things played out between
\nStrickland and Chimaev. Diaz (21-13) is set to return to MMA
\nagainst Mike Perry<\/a>
\n(14-8) at
\nMost Valuable Promotions “Rousey vs. Carano”<\/a> on May 16 at the
\nIntuit Dome in Los Angeles, California. While Diaz admits that he
\nis not best friends with Perry, he refuses to build up a fake
\nrivalry to sell the fight.<\/p>\n

Fake F—king Puppets<\/h2>\n

\u201cThey were faking the funk,\u201d Diaz said in a face-to-face with Perry<\/a> hosted by
\nMost Valuable Promotions. \u201cAnd they were f—ing acting like crazy
\nand talking all this s–t to each other, and hugging and showing up
\nthe whole fight like some bitch. Fake f—ing puppets. I\u2019m f—ing
\ncool off that s–t. I gotta fight with this dude. He\u2019s the most
\nviolent mothererf—er\u2026 We\u2019re not friends or anything like that but
\nI\u2019m not gonna f—ing play around and make no f–ing artificial
\nbeef with you. I think you\u2019re great, I think what you\u2019re doing is
\ngreat. I think you\u2019re violent and mean. I came here to fight, train
\nhard, win, and f–k your s–t up just like I know you\u2019re planning
\non f—ing my s–t up.\u201d  <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
