While Sean Strickland again shocked the world by defeating Khamzat Chimaev to capture the UFC middleweight championship at UFC 328 on Saturday, the post-fight reactions from the fighters were nearly as interesting as the result itself.
While Strickland and Chimaev saw the build to their fight colored by bad blood, vile insults and threats of literally killing one another before they even stepped in the Octagon, the fighters looked very different on fight night. From frequent glove touching during the fight to Chimaev willingly accepting the official decision and even wrapping the belt around Strickland's waist, the bad blood was left feeling like little more than a marketing ploy.
Most odd, however, may have been Chimaev's overall demeanor. Always an intense fighter, Chimaev seemed fine with losing the razor-thin split decision for his first career professional defeat.
Chimaev's reaction stood out to the crew on "Deep Waters" during their recap show on Monday.
"You can't call it a robbery and neither guy can be mad," Din Thomas said on the show. "But it's weird that Khamzat accepted it so easily."
Dustin Poirier chimed in, saying Chimaev's teammate, Arman Tsarukyan, showed more emotion than the now-former champion.
"Like I said in the back, Arman was more upset that he lost the decision than Khamzat was," Poirier said.
"It looked like Arman was more upset that he lost the decision than Khamzat was."
