    Sean Strickland Hints at Rematch with Khamzat Chimaev

    UFC middleweight champion Sean Strickland has hinted at a rematch with Khamzat Chimaev as his next fight, despite Chimaev's loss via split decision at UFC 328 in May. Strickland, who is still recovering from a shoulder injury sustained during fight week, has been targeted by Chimaev's trash talk since their first meeting. While Nassourdine Imavov is also in contention for a title shot, Strickland's willingness to silence Chimaev's 'running mouth' suggests a rematch is likely.
