Sean Strickland, UFC middleweight champion, said that Khamzat Chimaev doesn't deserve to get a title shot. According to Sean, the only reason Khamzat will get a title shot is because he sells a lot of tickets.

“Chimaev doesn’t fucking deserve a title shot. We all understand this. The only reason Chimaev gets this chance is because he sells a lot of tickets. That’s all,” said the champion.

Let's remember that Strickland's next opponent will be Dricus Du Plessis. Their fight will take place on January 21 as part of UFC 297.
