Top UFC middleweight Khamzat Chimaev took a jab at former UFC champion Sean Strickland.
In doing so, Khamzat Chimaev decided to hurt the American fighter’s father in his outburst.
“Why are you baby crying all the time ? father didn’t give you love or he showed his love to you too much“
Former UFC middleweight champion Sean Strickland responded to Khamzat Chimaev’s barbed comment.
“Heres the thing my dad did hit me with some beer bottles once or twice lmao I will admit it, made me the man i am today… but I guarantee this little whore sucked off Kadyro.. obviously not good enough because you had to flee your country.”

The UFC 312 weigh-ins have wrapped up, and fans will be happy to know that the marquee bouts have been made official.
Of course, that includes the UFC middleweight title rematch between 185-pound champion Dricus du Plessis and Sean Strickland. In their first meeting back in early 2024, du Plessis took the gold from Strickland via split decision. Can Strickland regain the middleweight prize?
That won’t be the first title match of the night, as Zhang Weili looks for a successful UFC women’s strawweight title defense against Tatiana Suarez. Du Plessis, Strickland, Weili, and Suarez all made championship weight.
UFC 312 Weigh-in Results: One Fight Cancelled, Title Bouts Intact
