Khamzat Chimaev
Is it true that I will be fighting the winner of the bout between Dricus Du Plessis and Sean Strickland this fall? We'll see. I don’t know what to say right now. I was told that I would. I’m just waiting for now. Which one do I want to face? The one who will bring more money.
On February 9 at UFC 312, Du Plessis defeated Strickland and defended his middleweight championship title. He holds a record of 23 wins and two losses.
Chimaev last competed in the octagon in October 2024 at UFC 308, where he won against Robert Whittaker via submission in the first round. His professional record stands at 14 wins with no losses.
