Since they (sean&khamzat) fixed that fight.. proof will be next fight Khamzat will rag doll Sean. The exact same way he did DDP.

jimm3750531d ago

I think the man does not get the rematch. Maybe be in couple of fights. By then there might be a different champ.. lol

Chimaev wasn't in the fight. He's not as good as everyone thinks he. Strickland dominated that fight with a simple jab. Dana don't make the fight decisions. A rematch is pointless. Give someone a chance that deserves it. Imavov. Move Chimaev up as he can't make weight anyway if he wants a rematch he needs to earn it.

Chimaev needs to just move up. They have ZERO reason to give him a rematch. A) He never once defended the belt. B) He waited 268 days to defend the belt. C) He said before his fight with Strickland that he was going to vacate and move up to 205. So why give him a rematch? If he wins he will just vacate and move up.

I dont consider it disappointing since he lost by split decision

oldnhbfreak132d ago

It was disappointing because he was so dominant in the fights before. He has the skill in the octagon but lacks the right mindset/coaches/health to do his job. I think that if he gets a rematch and gets that right Strickland is getting what DDP and Whittaker got.

Little premature is day. George lost to Matt Serra and overcame. Sean looked like a flash in the pan too. Chamaev has plenty of time to succeed again.

Definitely not. Just a terrible weight cut after bulking up loads for a LHW fight. I am actually think if these two were to rematch Khamzat would win.

dr.cheyno147d ago

Super close fight. Could've gone either way. But he has to sort out his weight. Going into a title fight and having to cut 37 pounds just makes him unable to wrestle for the amount he needs to.

SYes I believe Sean Strickland is one of the most remarkable fighters in the UFC, of all time. The man had a very difficult upbringing, he has a bunch of rough edges, but he is the real deal, a real fighter who is honest and fair and doesn't duck anyone to keep that belt. Imavov deserves the shot and Strickland knows it. My respects to Strickland.

There have been exactly 2 fighters who have held the undisputed UFC Middleweight Championship two separate times Sean Strickland & Israel Adesanya which is why Izzy is one of Sean's greatest wins.

jodyblommaert96d ago

Yes

esmagicman127d ago

Imavov seems like the most deserving right now. Kamaru Usman would be my wildcard choice. He beat Strickland once long ago and their rematch would be interesting.

Rematch

nick00769w146d ago

Chimaev didn't even make weight, won't be no rematch. Dude was all hype, fighting people that were past their prime.

brawnyshady147d ago

Van by KO round 5

pvadodaria147d ago

Pantoja by R3 sub.

kyle.dimond147d ago

Still lean towards Pantoja but I'm not as convinced as I was before watching Van take Taira out.

dr.cheyno144d ago

Nope. Unless he is gifted with a good match up at some stage.

jamie.theodosi147d ago

Nah I don’t think he will. He was talking about moving down to lightweight not long ago, dominating Buckley on the ground isn’t massive impressive considering Buckley’s lack of IQ

paulgreene67147d ago

He won't!

johnporterjordan148d ago

We can watch this card to see who the best weight cutter is and the NBA playoffs will reveal the best foul baiter/flopper. How lucky we are, as spectators!

harvey.leonard148d ago

Nah, he's looked bad on the scale before and still destroyed people on fight night.

kyle.dimond149d ago

Same pick but it does make it even more interesting if Sean is able to make it through the first couple rounds. I'm just not convinced that he can

pvadodaria149d ago

Van vs. Taira

henryosorio557150d ago

Brady vs. Buckley, i want to see brady strangle him

jamie.theodosi152d ago

Excited about Gautier as a prospect but the matchup is meh. Alvarez vs Amosov should be great

leondonlon83148d ago

Van on points

henryosorio557150d ago

Van by TKO in the 3rd

harvey.leonard152d ago

Taira. The more skilled and technically gifted fighter. Always favor backing that over a tough brawler like Van

fatimatrading911148d ago

InshaAllah khamzat will win again and become the world champion

henryosorio557150d ago

DEFEND THAT BELT! First and foremost.

jbdizzl545151d ago

IDK but I wish these dudes would clean out the division first. I get the weight cut stuff but if it’s that bad. Then they shouldn’t be fighting in that division or get a couple new weight divisions above welterweight.

axethetacs149d ago

Sean should use his knees more often to defend against a takedown; if he times it right, he might be able to land one on Hazmat's head. IMO the Russians seem to lose focus after a couple of good shots to the head, be it knee, elbow, or fist.

pvadodaria149d ago

If Sean makes it through the initial rush. He can win this.

henryosorio557150d ago

If he is able to stop those takedowns, its going to be a long night for the Chechen. I give him 80% chance.

jeromeynwahector97149d ago

Call it what u want he puts up a big show before the fight im gonna kill him blah blah blah then proceeds to hug opponent dont make as if u gona fight yet u play huggy bear lmao

reyokss150d ago

Chimaev defnitely.No doubt whatsoever ever.Nit a chance in hell.This is a committed fighter who through Ddp around like a rag doll.Come on.im South African I know we had a great champion but Chimaev fight I realized the the levels are different.

pvadodaria150d ago

I don't care who wins, but just please don't turn this into Kape vs Mokaev 2.0.
