This past weekend, Sean Strickland returned to winning ways at UFC Houston, stopping Anthony Hernandez by technical knockout in round 3 of the main event. Immediately after “Tarzan” raised his hand, he shouted Khamzat Chimaev.
Even earlier today, the controversial UFC star called out the middleweight champion:
“Keep running, Chechen ware… I know the score, you know the score….”
And Chimaev replied with:
“Goodbye boy 🤫”
Meanwhile, it looks like head coach Sean Strickland already has a plan in mind to dethrone ‘Borz’.
Sean Strickland’s head coach reveals the blueprint to beat Khamzat Chimaev
In a recent interview with Submission radioEric Nicksick stated that in order to stop Khamzat Chimaev, they need to figure out how to stuff takedowns and disrupt the Chechen-born Emiratis’ “chain wrestling sequences,” which could force “Borz” to deviate from his original game plan:
“We’re going to have to do our job. If we can shut down some of that stuff and get him to doubt any of the routes he’s on, especially when it comes to the ground game – he’s very systematic – if we can disrupt some of those chain wrestling sequences that he puts together and get him to restart and put some doubt in his mind. And if you defend those takedowns, make him pay for it. Tell him, hey, when you come in here, you’re going to have doubts. having to pay a price for that.”
Check out Erick Nicksick’s comments below:
At the UFC Houston post fight presserSean Strickland had claimed that he made ‘Borz’ stop training and that Chimaev would ‘walk around the gym and pick the smallest pros from the lowest level’ to spar with.
The Xtreme Couture head coach addressed his student’s previous claims, adding during the same interview:
“I think what happens in the training room should stay in the training room. Training is training. Guys should put themselves in less advantageous positions to make themselves better, doing a lot of situational sparring and situational training… So thinking that just because you beat a guy in the training room, whether you’re on the A side or the B side, you shouldn’t carry that into the fight.”
