Sean Strickland: The ONLY Fighter Who Can Beat Khamzat Chimaev? (2026)

Sean Strickland believes he's the only fighter who could potentially defeat Khamzat Chimaev. Strickland, who is set to face Anthony Hernandez at UFC Fight Night 267, thinks he has the skills to overcome Chimaev's wrestling prowess. However, he acknowledges that Chimaev's stand-up skills might give him an edge in a decision. Strickland also criticizes Chimaev's inactivity, questioning the UFC's strategy of promoting a fighter who only competes once a year. He suggests that Chimaev's close relationships with influential figures could be the reason behind his infrequent fights.
