Chimaev believes he lost to Sean
Strickland because of his nationality. 

Chimaev (15-1)was a massive favorite when he put his middleweight
title on the line against Strickland (30-7) at UFC 328
earlier this month in Newark, New Jersey. However, Chimaev
seemingly gassed out early and dropped a closely-contested split
decision despite a valiant effort.

While Chimaev admits it was a close fight, he believes the
scorecards swayed against him as he is not American.

“All judges are Americans, the organization is American, the
opponent is American, and one is Chechen. It’s a close fight. Who
do you think will win?” Chimaev wrote in a since-deleted tweet.

“No excuses I [just want to] f—k him up. This s—t trying to run
away.”

Awaiting the Rematch

Chimaev’s team confirmed that he did not have a smooth weight cut
for UFC 328. After Chimaev’s loss, Dana White claimed that “Borz”
wanted to move up to light heavyweight for his next fight. However,
Chimaev has since been solely focused on a rematch against
Strickland. Chimaev recently doubled down on his stance, calling
for a rematch against the middleweight champ.

“I’m waiting tell me when you’re ready [Sean
Strickland],” Chimaev wrote. “Next time somebody has to be
dead.”
