Is Sean Strickland now angling for a Khamzat Chimaev rematch?Strickland upset Chimaev to claim the middleweight title by split decision at UFC 328 in May, handing "Borz" his first-career loss. It was a close fight, where Chimaev slowed down early. He eventually caught a second wind, but it wasn't enough in the judges' eyes.Nassourdine Imavov is "100 percent confident" he's the No. 1 contender, something that Strickland (31-7 MMA, 18-7 UFC) initially acknowledged. However, Strickland chose to go after Chimaev (15-1 MMA, 9-1 UFC) in his latest tweet."Yall keep asking me when Im gonna fight again. Shoulder is getting solid, need a little longer.As to who Im fighting.. Chimeav keeps running his f*cking mouth.Want me to teach you how to cut weight so you can stop bitching for a second L?"Yall keep asking me when Im gonna fight again.
