Sean Strickland has always been in the news for his unfiltered take on the mic. Having lost his chance to regain the middleweight title, Strickland is now looking to carve out a redemption path. However, in a recent interview, Strickland let loose his controversial self once again. And this time, he went off on Khamzat Chimaev in a brutal rant.
Sean Strickland and Khamzat Chimaev have a history of taking shots at each other. But now, ‘Tarzan’ seems to have taken things a bit over the limit. Strickland addressed Chimaev as a “f**king c*nt.” The former middleweight champion also called him stupid and insecure while criticizing his speaking ability.
“He’s a f***ing c*nt dude… it’s like you’re talking to a r*tard. He doesn’t speak like a human… I think he’s just such an insecure man, maybe he’s stupid. He’s just another phony ass f***ing Muslim,” said Strickland.

This is not the first time Strickland has gone off on Chimaev. ‘Tarzan’ had earlier stated how he used to dominate Chimaev during their sparring days. He also called the Chechen native a ‘mu**erer’ because of his relationship with Ramzan Kadyrov. And as Chimaev prepares to fight for the middleweight gold, Strickland thinks he will not be able to win it.
