Chimaev can strike, at a world class level so, but hes basically pretending to strike here... Either intentionally or because Strickland is managing the range so well.
Strickland has really subtle footwork.

Strickland defended a takedown! Chimaev is on HIS back! IS THIS AN AI BROADCAST?!?!?!

 

Strickland needs to learn to use elbow.

 

WHAT? WHAT IS GOING ON?

LMAO, Chimaev probably messed up his weight cut.

 

1-1, shocked at how Sean kept Khamzat down

 

1 - 1

Rnd 1 Chimaev hump. Rnd 2 Strickland humps

 

It could also be the fact that Sean is more experienced at defending while on the ground than Dricus or Rob were

 

Khamzat ****ed his weight cut. Completely drained

Now he's in there with a fighter with top level endurance

 

Chimaev looks really slow.

 

They are in the standup and Chimaev is holding his own.

 

Only because of the takedown threat, even the Sean is outstriking him pretty comfortably imo

 

Lol, someone about to lose 1.4 mil. I bet that guy is screaming at the TV right now.

 

Chimaev has decent boxing

 

very close rnd 3.

 

Threat of the takedown will do that. And Chimaev always has been a really good striker.

Strickland usually uses frames and his right hand more, but Chimaev has taken those away, for now.

 

i got strickland up 2-1
