This editorial piece examines what Khamzat Chimaev's hypothetical 10-fight UFC winning streak would look like if he defeats Sean Strickland at UFC 328. The author notes that Chimaev began his UFC career with three wins in just 66 days, including two victories in 10 days, which are described as absolute records in modern UFC history. The proposed 10-fight streak would include victories over four UFC champions, three at their peak and one slightly past it (Kamaru Usman). The post particularly highlights Chimaev's dominant wins over Robert Whittaker, Kevin Holland, and Li Jingliang, with special emphasis on the Holland fight as an underappreciated two-minute grappling showcase. However, the author expresses some concern about the upcoming Strickland bout, worrying that Chimaev might struggle with takedown entries and tire himself out attempting unsuccessful transitions.
