Strickland made a categorical prediction for the Usman-Chimaev fight

UFC middleweight champion Sean Strickland spoke out regarding the candidate's fight between Kamaru Usman And Khamzat Chimaev, which will take place today, October 21, at the UFC 294 tournament in Abu Dhabi, UAE.

“This is a win-win fight for Usman. To be honest, he has no chance of winning. Khamzat busted his ass in training, pumped up to middleweight, and Usman just thinks: “I’ll go out and get my check.” This is a bad fight for me. The UFC simply wanted to replace the retired Paulo Costa. That's why I'm betting on Chimaev to win.

If Usman had had a full training camp, I would have chosen him. But he just got up from the couch, so Khamzat will take the victory,” Stricklad said in a release on the author’s YouTube channel.
