What was said

"He had a blown-out shoulder. Sean had one arm. And when he did throw that right hand in that second round, he wobbled Khamzat."

Brendan Schaub revealed on Joe Rogan's podcast that Sean Strickland fought Khamzat Chimaev with a severe shoulder injury, essentially using only one arm during their controversial split decision bout. Schaub noted Strickland was visibly managing the injury before the fight and still managed to flash-knock Khamzat in the second round. This revelation adds significant context to one of the most debated decisions in recent UFC history.
