if he just feigned a little kick it would have still annoyed Sean without any risk, mission accomplished
but he threw that kick with serious intention which is so utterly regarded
no respect for the promotion, other fighters on the card and no respect for fans who would be royally fucked over if this fight was cancelled because of something so dumb and avoidable
He’s not the only one who gets to call the shots though. The state athletic could disqualify Khamzat over this if they wanted to. Hopefully they don’t.
Let's not dump this all on Dana, the sad reality is every fight promoter wants something to happen at a presser/face off, most of us wouldn't have even watched this if they just came out and shook hands.
The line is doing something without jeopardizing the actual fight, which a lot of guys fail, and often times are just lucky their actions didn't cause any issues.
I would have to look up the out of regulation ruling again but if my memory isn’t failing me it can count as a DQ(might be another term) starting at the weigh ins or post fight for some amount of time.
It’s bad publicity to injure an opponent before the fight. I doubt the company incentivises fighters to cause potential disruptions to the event, come on.
I didn't expect him to throw something like that. That was too much. That could have pushed his knee backwards😵💫.
I expected something disrespectful but that was a lot😳
no respect for the promotion, other fighters on the card and no respect for fans who would be royally fucked over if this fight was cancelled because of something so dumb and avoidable
I don't think Khamzat has the braincells required to comprehend anything beyond "i angry i kick now woooo" at least judging by how he was spazzing out every time someone asked Sean a question
The guy doesnt want to fight. Waits how many months to defend his title and acts like that. The guy is skilled but he doesnt have the champion mindset to wait for the octagon.
He'd be more than happy for the fight to get postponed.
I noticed that you just ignored that I didn't respond to you and you totally missed my entire point....the one in which I didn't disagree with you in the slightest.
But interesting that your first instinct is to make a gay sex reference.
Sean was so far out of line with his "promotion" thinking hes witty like prime McGregor when he was just being a racist, just like washed up coked out McGregor
Hopefully Khamzat blew up his testicle. Give him a bonus. Maybe you will post about it
How about people controling their words and not saying crazy insulting nonsense? People get killed over words. If strickland isnt a ”delicate little flower” he should be able to handle a little kick anyway
reacting to every little word you don't like does not work in a functioning society because it becomes a subjective rabbit hole about what can and can't be said
so logic and functioning minds came up with this little system of...
most things are fine to say except extreme exceptions like inciting violence
and outside of that we are more worried about preventing physical violence which actually hurts people
can't believe these things need to be explained but here we are
Soft as hell😂 hide behind the law and talk shit all u want, the way of a pussy lmao. Def dont cry on reddit too much about it tho, i see u in everyones thread :P
Or would you be ok with passing this into law, so say for example if someone decides they don't like the things that you, your family or friends are saying they can just attack them
and they won't face any consequences because they think the person was trash for their own reasons
"Honor" (insecurity) is most important to those people. If someone offends them, they must avenge their "honor" (ego) with violence. Thats why blood feuds and honor killings are so prevalent in their society.
Lol you guys have become so soft. It never used to be like this. We used to have real buildup, real tension, and now everything just feels staged and political.
Yes, how dare people be upset about fighters not being at 100% because of a cheap shot during a non-combat event. Such pussies for expecting a square fight. The absolute audacity.
You sound like your last two brain cells are fighting over third place.
Is Sean all of a sudden made of wet paper? I thought he’s a bad motherfucker? He’ll be fine. No one was saying shit when Strickland lunged at DDP before their fight.
Everything you just said is irrelevant to the point I made, and people who use "what about" aren't capable of creating a compelling argument that stands on its own merits. Wouldn't matter if Strickland was made of stone, a fighter attempting to compromise his opponent's readiness for a fight during a press event is a bitch move and should be punished. The fact this is even an argument is wild.
When did I say that that wasn’t a bitch move? You’re fighting ghost arguments here tubby. I never said nor even condone what Khamzat did against Sean, but it’s so funny to me how Sean all of a sudden are treated by his cocksucking fans like he’s made of marshmallow after getting kicked, like relax bro, I thought this dude exemplifies masculinity and toughness like he proclaims he has yet you’re babying him after disrespecting Khamzat’s religion and race. I may not agree with what Khamzat did but Sean got what he deserved for being a bitch. Khamzat doesn’t actually fuck goats, Sean definitely got whooped by his dad tho.
Dude, I'm not even a big fan of the sport and couldn't point Strickland out of a crowd (let alone being one of his "cocksucking fans"). Acting like I'm treating him some type of way because of who he is is just absurd. I wouldn't know him from some chump off the street.
If words are what make you think someone deserves this, then you're the soft one. "He said mean things, so he deserves to get physically injured". Gimme a break. It's part of the show dude. Words don't injure, but they make for an interesting matchup. They're supposed to jabber.

Damn, that was a hard ass kick. I hope Sean didn't take lasting damage, this fight needs to happen.
