Khamzat Chimaev stepped into the octagon against Dricus Du Plessis this Saturday, headlining UFC 319’s exciting main event. The UFC middleweight title was at stake, and the relentless ‘Borz’ secured victory in dominant fashion via unanimous decision. It ultimately turned into a completely one-sided battle, where Du Plessis found himself helpless, unable to implement his prepared strategies effectively.

For five long and grueling rounds, DDP failed to showcase his promised game plan, overwhelmed completely by Chimaev’s relentless dominance. The Chechen phenom attempted a staggering seventeen takedowns, successfully completing twelve of them. After the bout, former champion and Chimaev’s long-standing rival, Sean Strickland, stirred headlines by making an extremely interesting comment.

I’m probably the only one in the UFC that can out grapple that little wh*re for 5 rounds…. Well looks like I gotta stack some Ws to fight that little b**ch lmao.

Ahead of the highly anticipated fight, Strickland confidently predicted Du Plessis to win, citing his superior durability and relentless cardio. However, Strickland also issued a warning to his old rival, acknowledging Chimaev’s dangerous initial storm during the early rounds.

Although Du Plessis survived those opening minutes, he completely failed to withstand Chimaev’s overwhelming and suffocating pressure as the fight went on. The cardio of the Chechen fighter did not deplete and pushed on to secure takedowns against the South African.

Strickland and Chimaev have shared a heated rivalry for a long time now, although they were previously close training partners. According to the undefeated ‘Borz,’ tensions began after he left the United States, when Strickland suddenly started publicly talking trash about him. From the infamous crypto controversy to his connections with a Chechen warlord, Strickland has repeatedly mocked Chimaev’s reputation.

Even after years of tension, the rivalry between Khamzat Chimaev and Sean Strickland continues, fueled by shared history and animosity. Chimaev is ready to take on Strickland and mentioned that he will fight anybody that the UFC pays him to fight. Strickland was recently suspended recently by the Nevada State Athletic Commission after storming into the cage and punching an opponent’s cornerman.

Although a fight with Chimaev offers massive pay-per-view potential and financial gain, contenders Caio Borralho and Nassourdine Imavov complicate matchmaking. Moreover, the former middleweight champion needs his suspension to go away before competing again.

Despite these hurdles, Strickland’s comments continue sparking widespread fan reactions, keeping his heated rivalry with Chimaev alive and extremely relevant today.

As expected, fans wasted no time slamming Strickland for his comments, especially since he remains ineligible to challenge currently. Several users joked online about how Strickland would inevitably be dominated by Khamzat Chimaev, primarily because of his well-known lack of wrestling.

Others pointed out how the ‘Tarzan’ was repeatedly taken down by Du Plessis, insisting he cannot survive Chimaev’s pressure. The general sentiment online suggested that the American fighter would need a miracle to defeat the new champion in a potential bout.
