32-year-old UFC middleweight champion Khamzat Chimaev, representing the UAE, responded to a statement by former UFC 84 kg champion Sean Strickland.
Their fight will take place on the night of May 10 and will be the main event of UFC 328.
"You can cry, it's okay. Your father made a girl out of you. It is clear in this photo who is the boy and who is the girl," Chimaev said.

Chimaev became the 16th fighter in the history of the North American league to be an undefeated professional champion. The Chechen-born boxer's record includes 15 wins, 12 of which were early, and no losses. He has been participating in professional competitions since 2018.
