Sean Strickland is not impressed with the performance of Khamzat Shimaev. After the Chechen dominate Dricus Du Plessis and win the middleweight belt (up to 83,9 kg), the American took to social media to insult his rival and guarantee that he has what it takes to stop him.
In a post on X (formerly Twitter), Strickland positioned himself as the only UFC fighter capable of dominating Chimaev on the ground for five rounds and indicated that he will need to accumulate more victories before having the opportunity to face him.
