Being 15-0, losing to split decision, and still humbly smiling and putting the belt on your opponant. Absolute respect to Chimaev.
Strickland has 2 of the biggest upset victories in UFC history
Chimaev took the decision well - looks like a class act. Congrats to Strickland.
Ive always liked chimaev but the fact he puts the belt on Strickland was BOSS. Great sportsmanship
They hyped this fight up so well. Credit to Chimaev for putting on the belt at the finish. Both warriors for sure.
Never seen anyone nullify Chamzat like that. We'll deserved by Strickland
That jab of stricklands is sheer psychological warfare
Crazy how Sean isn’t even as happy as DDP is right now 😭
Huge respect to Chimaev for being so gracious in defeat, putting the belt on Strickland.
Wild that Sean did it again. He's a completely different person when fighting in the cage, 100% methodical, never rises to aggression and plays his game. I dislike both of these two but so impressed to see Sean dismantle Chimaev by just simply popping him and having great take down defence where he doesn't panic
Everyone was badmouthing Strickland saying he’s boring now they are all his fans again, fickle
Strickland being Strickland. What a lad
Fair play to Strickland. No one fancied him in this or against Izzy. Also nice to see Chimaev at the end. That’s class.
Legendary Fighter Unlocked: Underdog Challenger Sean Strickland.
Sean's jab couldn't miss even if he tried, it's like Khamzat's head was a magnet and his hand was made of metal
I always have mad respect for fighters when they show good sportsmanship, and that is exactly what Chimaev did right there. Clearly a man very in control of his emotions, good to see
One thing that gets overlooked is how big of a unit Strickland is ! Hes massive!! and fast hands relative to his size
Khamzhat took that loss like a champ I thought he'd take it worse hats off to both men for an amazing fight
Strickland it appears is a respectful fighter despite his pre fight trash talk
Knowing how much fighters rave about Khamzat's grappling strength, this fight showed Strickland is actually deceptively strong and underrated at wrestling.
