The UFC has said they are going to increase security for UFC 328 in Newark on May 9th, but are they going to increase it enough?
Thatās a very serious question given the hot-headed temperament of both Khamzat Chimaev and Sean Strickland. And if a brawl breaking out during fight week wasnāt a big enough concern, now Strickland is promising heāll bring a gun to a fist fight.
āHeās already talking about, if you guys run into each other, heāll have his friends with him and you wonāt have any,ā The Mac Lifeās Oscar Willis reminded Strickland during a new interview.
āAll Iām gonna do, Iāll pull my gun out of my shoe,ā Strickland replied. āIf [Chimaev] were to come up to me like a man and say, āYou know what, Sean? You said some things about my dad [Ramzan] Kadyrov.ā And Iām like, well you know what dude? You whāed yourself out, not me. āI wanna settle this.ā I would say āLetās settle this like men.ā
āBut if you come up to me with three fāking Chechens that donāt speak English, Iām gonna pull my gun and Iām gonna shoot each and every one of you.ā
Sean Strickland has always pushed the UFCās āfree speechā policy to the limit, and recently had his presser mic turned off following his big UFC Houston win when he started calling Khamzat Chimaev a āgoat fāker,ā an insult Strickland has used so frequently in the build up to UFC 328 that itās impossible to write an honest article about their feud without mentioning it.
And now heās threatening to shoot his opponent? This has gotten way out of hand.
The UFC will do its best to avoid a mass shooting perpetrated by one of the headliners of its big Newark card by keeping the fighters at separate hotels and limiting the number of promotional interactions before May 9th. But with both men before the fight, can the promotion keep this pot from boiling over?
Sean Strickland stated he would 'pull my gun out of my shoe' if confronted by Khamzat Chimaev.
The UFC is increasing security due to the heated rivalry between Khamzat Chimaev and Sean Strickland, raising concerns about potential brawls.
UFC 328 is scheduled for May 9th in Newark.
