Sean Strickland insults French people and makes light of Imavov
Given that Imavov, a fighter with Dagestani roots currently resides and trains in France under coach Fernand Lopez—and Ciryl Gane’s instructor—will be sparring with Strickland, so he insulted him, calling him a “cowardice” and a “Frenchie.”
He stated, “I mean let’s just call him a Frenchie and we know one thing out of Frenchie: what they are best at? Giving up. I mean, I haven’t really watched him fight. And I know he likes to bang. I know he likes to throw big punches, but he’s still f*cking French, man. There’s a lot of history of cowardice to move on from when you’re f*cking French.”
“So maybe he’s going to prove a statement. Maybe he’s going to say that his country has left cowardice behind, I don’t f*cking know. Only thing the French are good at is having affairs and giving up and losing fights. But we’ll f*cking find out. Maybe he’s different.”
