Khamzat Chimaev: If Strickland Wanted War Outside the Cage, "He'd Be Dead Already"

""Bro he didn't shoot any chickens in the world, how's he going to shoot a human? I don't think the guy wants a real war outside the cage. If he wanted [that], he would be dead already.""

""Bro, in New Jersey, this is Muslim community. It's my home. I don't think he's going to come out with the guns there. Otherwise there will be a lot of people in jail, because he's dead.""

""He never had success with me. It's not going to be different this time as well. I was fighting 170 that time, so imagine I beat him on that weight.""

""I like his talking, it's good for me.""

Khamzat Chimaev responded to Sean Strickland's comments about potential violence outside the cage, questioning Strickland's credibility. Chimaev stated that Strickland has never succeeded against him and emphasized his own growth as a fighter. He expressed skepticism about Strickland's willingness to engage in real conflict, particularly in New Jersey, where he feels protected by his community. Chimaev acknowledged the promotional benefits of Strickland's trash talk, viewing it as advantageous for his own career.
