“I have someone in mind who beat me last time. I'm talking about Sean Strickland. Let's do it again, come meet the new beast I've become. I changed a lot in my preparation. I’ve been working with a new team for two months, and you’ve seen how much I’ve changed. So in a year I will be a different, completely different fighter,” the fighter said.
Let us remind you that Imavov and Strickland already met in the Octagon, and then the American fighter won by unanimous decision. That confrontation took place in January last year as part of UFC Fight Night 217.
