If Khamzat Chimaev defeats Sean Strickland at UFC 328, he will complete a historic 10-fight UFC winning streak that includes victories over four UFC champions. The streak began with three wins in 66 days, including two in 10 days, both absolute records in modern UFC history. The final four wins would all be against UFC champions: three at their peak (Whittaker, Du Plessis, Strickland) and one slightly past it (Usman). The author particularly highlights Chimaev's dominant performances against Whittaker, Holland, and Li Jingliang, calling them "video game level" victories. Despite this optimistic outlook, the author admits to having some late concerns about the upcoming Strickland fight, worrying that Chimaev might struggle with takedowns and tire himself out.
