"No. Some body said they seen him like running away from hotel fast after the media. The guy who said like going to shoot me, he going to do this, that. I don't know why he's still at other hotels. He was thinking no one going to control me, and the guy is not here. We control this guy."
"I find old video, some stuff, just post that because he's saying I spar only weak people. On the video we spar easy. Just touch sparring. It's not like 100% like usually I do. Because he said he doesn't want to spar hard, and when I start to hit hard (he was like) coach Eric, this guy starting punch hard."
"This guy lie so much. It's crazy. Ask the people who's been in the gym. Ask his friends, if the guys is real, they're going to answer for that."
Khamzat Chimaev remains unfazed by Sean Strickland's pre-fight comments ahead of their UFC 328 title defense. Chimaev alleges that Strickland fled the hotel after media obligations and questions why Strickland stays elsewhere, suggesting he maintains control over his opponent. The tension escalated after Chimaev posted old training footage from Xtreme Couture showing their sparring session. Strickland criticized the post as weak, prompting Chimaev to clarify that the footage showed light touch sparring at Strickland's request. Chimaev accuses Strickland of lying about their training sessions and invites gym witnesses to verify the truth, maintaining his undefeated record while dismissing his challenger's credibility.
