Khamzat
Chimaev is eager to settle unfinished business with Sean
Strickland.
The former
Ultimate Fighting Championship middleweight champion suggested
on Instagram that Strickland is avoiding a rematch following their
clash at
UFC 328 earlier this year.

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.
