Chimaev Demands Immediate UFC Rematch, Slams Strickland for Dragging Talks

Khamzat Chimaev says he’s had enough of waiting and wants a quick rematch for the UFC middleweight title. He believes Sean Strickland is the reason negotiations haven’t moved forward. After Strickland won by split decision at UFC 328, Chimaev initially toyed with a move to light heavyweight. But he’s back on reclaiming his middleweight crown and even Dana White has hinted a rematch is in play. Chimaev took to social media with a straight-up challenge: “Accept the fight, don’t run, I’ll beat you anyway.” Strickland has yet to respond. Meanwhile, Nassourdine Imavov looms as another top contender if plans change. With a pro record of 15-1 and a dominant run before UFC 328, Chimaev remains determined to erase his only loss and get back to the throne. Will Strickland answer the call or will the UFC pivot elsewhere?
