Chimaev (15-0) is one of the most dangerous fighters in the world. The Chechen had health issues following a bout with COVID-19, but he overcame them, beating Dricus du Plessis at UFC 319 to win the middleweight belt.
Strickland (30-7) beat Israel Adesanya in 2023 for the middleweight title. He’s since gone 2-2 in his last four fights, most recently taking down Anthony Hernandez in February.
There has been plenty of tension in the lead-up to the fight with Strickland calling Chimaev every name in the book. Chimaev appears unbeatable at this stage of his career. Can Strickland use his unique offense to defeat Chimaev?
“I think a part of him knows that, if we do wrestle, I’m just going to counter-wrestle,” Strickland said on UFC 328 Countdown. “I’ll get up. I’ll get on top. Or, complete opposite, he knows he can’t take me down, and then we just kickbox for five rounds.
“And then, if that happens, you’re going to see him getting frustrated, throw big punches, trying to hit me. And I’m just going to tag him at will.”
