Khamzat Chimaev posts sparring footage with Sean Strickland

Khamzat Chimaev has released video footage showing him sparring with Sean Strickland ahead of their UFC 328 middleweight title eliminator. The posting of sparring footage is relatively rare in the UFC and appears designed to build anticipation for their May 10th clash. Both fighters are competing for the right to challenge for the middleweight championship. The exact timing and context of when the sparring session took place was not specified in the post. This type of pre-fight media activity is unusual as most fighters keep training footage private until after their bouts.
