Despite it being an extremely tall task, Sean Strickland has one clear path to victory against Khamzat Chimaev. This coming May 9, Khamzat Chimaev makes the first defense of his middleweight title ...
Not biased take. I love both, lean towards DDP personally. 1st was clearly for Strickland. By jabs & teeps, but cristal clear. In the 4th, Sean landed A LOT of flush right hands. DDP control time on the ground did zero damage and no submission attempts. Besides, he didn't hold Sean for long...
Strickland does the same to Chimaev Pressure fighters like Chimaev & Hernandez who keep shooting takedowns will end up eating jabs and teeps from Strickland as evident on how Strickland destroyed Hernandez Chimaev would be smart to avoid that match up The Wolf sees Sean as prey. Is it already Whitehouse bound?
Fluffy is going to have to be able to keep Strickland down, which is very difficult. Very interesting matchup, and if Sean is able to nullify Fluffy's wrestling enough to win decisively, I wouldn't complain if they give him Khamzat next over Imavov.
