Sean Strickland, who loves to play the heel, most recently took fiery digs at UFC middleweight champion Khamzat Chimaev. While doing so, Strickland pointed out Chimaev’s inactivity and how the latter has not shown any interest or urgency to make the first defense of his 185-pound championship.
Last year in August at UFC 319, “Borz” dominantly dethroned Dricus du Plessis to capture the throne. Chimaev ragdolled the South African from the first round, scored 12 takedowns, and had a control time of nearly 22 minutes en route to a unanimous decision win.
However, after winning the title, it’s been nearly six months, and Chimaev’s next bout is yet to be announced.
