Analyst reflects on Strickland's upset win over Chimaev at UFC 328

A detailed analysis praises Sean Strickland's victory over Khamzat Chimaev, noting this is his second major upset in recent years after defeating Israel Adesanya. Strickland was heavily underestimated and positioned as a sacrificial opponent for Chimaev in what was intended to be a blockbuster main event. The analyst scored the fight 3-2 for Strickland by rounds and was surprised by the split decision, particularly one judge scoring the fifth round for Chimaev. Chimaev showed similar cardio issues as in his fight against Kamaru Usman. The post suggests a rematch with Nassourdine Imavov as a logical next step for Strickland's title defense, noting the champion now has six wins over current top-15 ranked opponents.
