Sean Strickland stuns Khamzat Chimaev to win middleweight gold at UFC 328
NEWARK, N.J. — Improbably, again, Sean Strickland is a champion. Less than three years after stunning the world to snatch UFC middleweight gold from one of MMA’s biggest stars, he did it again on Saturday against an arguably more fearsome, more complete opponent.Against Khamzat Chimaev, who earned his reputation as one of the most dominant current fighters with a 15-0 opening to his career, Strickland narrowly solved the puzzle that had vexed so many others. He stuffed takedowns, reversed grapples, put Chimaev on his back and wore down the champion on the feet with missile jabs, setting up the announcer Bruce Buffer to cap the night with a dramatic reading of the scorecards to crown him the undisputed “and new” champion. The judges gave Strickland the edge with a split decision, 48-47, 47-48, 48-47.Advertisementالمصدر: The Athletic | Source: The Athletic
