An in-depth analysis examines what would constitute Khamzat Chimaev's 10-fight UFC winning streak if he defeats Sean Strickland at UFC 328. The piece highlights that Chimaev began his UFC career with three victories in just 66 days, including two wins in 10 days, both modern UFC records. His hypothetical 10-fight streak would include four victories over UFC champions, three of whom were at their peak. The analysis emphasizes not just who Chimaev has beaten, but how dominantly he has done so, with particularly brutal performances against Robert Whittaker, Kevin Holland, and Li Jingliang. The author expresses some pre-fight concern that Chimaev might force takedown attempts poorly and exhaust himself, potentially allowing Strickland to seize psychological momentum.
