Former UFC middleweight champion Sean Strickland explained why his fight with 31-year-old undefeated UFC middleweight title contender Khamzat Chimaev, who represents the UAE, is not planned for the UFC White House event.
"We will defeat the terrorists. Our fight will not take place at the White House because they don't like terrorists," Strickland said.
Recall that Strickland's professional mixed martial arts record includes 30 wins, 16 of which were won early. He has seven losses. Strickland made his MMA debut in March 2008.
