Strickland referring to Khamzat as Cumshot all leading up to this has had me dying

Van is probably my favorite young fighter so excited for that one. Taira is a bit of a prodigy so that should be an interesting one. Van is still learning and it's pretty crazy how good his boxing is this early on. Think both of these guys are going to be near the top of the division for a while no matter what the outcome.

Was hoping to be done with turnaround by time this rolled around but it ain’t looking good. Going to have to miss it

Apparently only the main and co-main will be onstage at the press conference. I'm guessing since the trash talk between Strickland and Khamzat has been off the rails. I wouldn't have been surprised if Paramount had canceled the press conference altogether.

I'm rooting for Strickland, but I think he's going to get mauled by Khamzat. I think Strickland has done a good job of enraging Khamzat with his trash talk, and I think Khamzat is going to try and kill Sean in the octagon.

Strickland claims his arm / scapula was broken for the second Du Plessis fight. Maybe he would have done a lot better in that fight if that hadn't been the case?

Khamzat Chimaev vs Sean Strickland


I feel like Khamzat is going to play with his food for most of the fight after all the trash talk. However, that will give opening to (imo) Strickland's only chance which is to get lucky. Ultimately, I still think Khamzat will dominate pretty much every second of the fight.

Unfortunately we’re going to have to watch Khamzat dry hump Sean to death.

sean is usually good at getting back up. also nobody has ever attempted a submission on him... which is kind of a crazy stat.

Dricus also has that ability and Khamzat was able to hump him for 5 rounds and win.

Alot of interesting matchups on this card. Think I'm going with:

Chimaev dominating Strickland on the ground
Van by KO over Taira
Volkov decision over WCA
Brady decision over Buckley
Green KO over Stephens
Gautier via murder over Diaz
Miller via retirement over Gordon

Not wanting to see a guy dry humping another guy for 25 minutes, and wanting to see them knock each other out is gay?
The person wanting to see two guys rolling around and mounting each other seems more gay.

Damn, I thought maybe that was a dirty oblique kick by Khamzat. Another angle:

If you like striking, theres boxing, kickboxing, Muay Thai, bare knuckles. Grappling, wrestling , and submission are part of MMA.

There might be a better clip of this but this is all I could find. This was from his recent “protect our parks” episode.

The funny part is Ari Shaffir called him out & said “you always hype up the guy who you think is gonna lose”

It'd be great if Strickland was practicing the Masvidal-Askren knee, and when the match starts and Khamzat runs in to shoot the takedown, Strickland KOs him out stiff with a hard knee.
