A detailed analysis examines what Khamzat Chimaev's winning streak would represent if he defeats Sean Strickland at UFC 328. Chimaev began his UFC career with three victories in just 66 days, including two wins in 10 days, which are absolute records in modern UFC history. His current streak includes four consecutive victories over UFC champions, with three of them at their peak and one slightly past prime (Usman). The piece emphasizes not just who Chimaev has beaten, but how dominantly he's done it, particularly highlighting his performances against Whittaker, Holland, and Li Jingliang. However, the author expresses some concern heading into the Strickland fight, noting psychological doubts about Chimaev potentially struggling with takedown entries and exhausting himself.
