Sean Strickland vs. Khamzat Chimaev rematch talk heats up after UFC 328
Chimaev had previously claimed the 185-pound belt with a dominant unanimous decision victory over Dricus Du Plessis, using his renowned ground game to dethrone the South African. However, “Borz” then dropped the championship to Strickland in a lackluster performance that he seemingly gassed out in, picking up the lone blemish on his pro record.
In pursuit of a rematch, Chimaev has now shared four photos from his five-round battle with Strickland along with a brief caption.
“Someone is running, I’m ready, just tell me where and when I’ll be there,” he captioned his post.
Strickland previously revealed that he is recovering from a shoulder injury and is targeting an Octagon return for later this year. The American has taken shots at Chimaev since beating him, but hasn’t addressed a potential rematch. Moreover, the latter isn’t the only contender in the title mix, with former champs Dricus Du Plessis and Kamaru Usman, who’ve both beaten Strickland, colliding at UFC Oklahoma City.
