Khamzat Chimaev, UFC middleweight, told how his sparring sessions with the current division champion went Sean Strickland.
“I choked and beat Strickland. He is a good fighter, a spiritual guy. If we compare us technically, then I’m on a different level in wrestling, grappling, and stand-up. But he is a real fighter, he will move forward, just like me. I want to fight with him. Although we trained with him, we didn’t have any fights in our gym, we just trained. Normal dude."
