Chimaev dismisses Strickland handshake, says he's ready to fight every 3 months

Khamzat Chimaev addressed Sean Strickland's statement that they will never shake hands and will "die as enemies," saying he doesn't care about a potential post-fight handshake. At a media day, Chimaev discussed releasing old sparring footage with Strickland to counter claims he only spars weak opponents, stating that when he started hitting hard during their session, Strickland immediately complained to the coach. Chimaev expressed confidence that Arman Tsarukyan would beat Strickland if he moved up to middleweight, and said he doesn't have specific plans for the fight beyond going in and fighting as always. He revealed he wants to compete every three months and has been ready but faced visa issues. Chimaev also stated he's open to changing weight classes depending on UFC's offer and payment.
