Strickland on Chimaev: “Who is he? Who did he fight at middleweight?

Dmitriy Kel Jan. 19, 2024, 4:43 a.m.

UFC middleweight champion Sean Strickland commented on the statement of the undefeated Khamzata Chimaeva that the promotion's management guaranteed him the place of the next contender for the belt.

“It’s hard to say, but I’d rather fight someone else. Ratings matter, but who did Chimaev fight at middleweight? Who is he? He didn't fight any top-ranked middleweights and then faced Usman, who got off the couch on a week's notice.

Dude, stop these love games with the UFC. Get back to real sports competitions and the damn rankings! Again, I don’t care who it is - make a lot of money even more, and I’ll fight you,” MMA News quotes Strickland as saying.

Let us remind you that on the night of January 21 at the UFC 297 tournament in Toronto, Strickland will defend his belt in a fight with Dricus Du Plessis.
