UFC 328 gym snitch reveals Sean Strickland vs. Khamzat Chimaev ‘wasn’t competitive’ in practice : I fully believe that Khamzat is a better fighter in the gym than in the Octagon, which is really saying something.

Niko Price on UFC Seattle retirement snub: ‘They didn’t send me off at all’ : Price has one of the craziest UFC highlight reels ever — it cannot have been that challenging to throw some together and give him a quick little goodbye as well.
