Khamzat Chimaev has been nearly untouchable in first rounds throughout his UFC career. Across nine UFC fights, opponents have landed only 24 significant strikes on him in opening rounds, with 18 of those coming from Gilbert Burns alone. Five of his nine opponents failed to land a single significant strike in the first five minutes, including current middleweight champion Dricus Du Plessis. The post suggests Sean Strickland will also struggle to land clean shots in their upcoming bout, though some commenters believe Strickland's jab could be more effective.
