Sean Strickland has laid out his ideal plan for when he wants to fight Khamzat Chimaev.
Strickland is the current No. 1 contender at middleweight and returned to the win column in June with a decision win over Paulo Costa. After the win, he made it clear he was going to hold out for a title shot, which he says is still the plan.
But, after Sean Strickland gets the title shot, and wins the belt, he wants his first title defense to be against Khamzat Chimaev as he’s confident he can hand him his first career loss.
