Analysis: Chimaev most motivated since Burns fight, Strickland's path to victory unclear

An in-depth analysis of the UFC 328 press conference suggests Khamzat Chimaev appeared more motivated and charged up than at any time since his fight with Gilbert Burns. The analyst notes this is the first time in a while that a UFC press conference delivered genuine emotion and content. While Sean Strickland is credited with saying to Chimaev's face much of what he had previously stated in interviews, the analyst struggles to identify a clear path to victory for Strickland. Any potential win for Strickland seems contingent on Chimaev failing rather than Strickland's own skills prevailing. The analyst suggests people want to see a competitive fight after such an emotional press conference, but questions whether that will actually materialize.
