Renowned Canadian journalist and insider Ariel Helwani sharply criticized American fighter Sean Strickland for apologizing to UAE representative Khamzat Chimaev after taking back his trash talk. Their bout headlined UFC 328 in Newark, New Jersey, where Strickland won via split decision, claiming the UFC middleweight title while Chimaev lost his championship belt.
“This is the biggest nonsense I’ve ever heard. It’s a lie, cowardly crap. You can’t take your words back. You called Khamzat’s mother a prostitute! That shows you are not who you pretend to be. You are a walking contradiction,” Helwani said on *The Ariel Helwani Show*.
