13 of 24 journalists scored Chimaev-Strickland fight for Chimaev

Media scoring for the Chimaev versus Strickland bout at UFC 328 was closely divided, with 13 out of 24 journalists giving the fight to Khamzat Chimaev despite the official decision favoring Sean Strickland. This indicates significant disagreement among media members about the outcome of the closely contested championship fight. The split scoring reflects the competitive nature of the bout and suggests it could have gone either way on the judges' scorecards. The post notes this media scorecard information is being duplicated across multiple channels for those who cannot access certain platforms. This level of media division on a result is relatively uncommon and speaks to how close the fight was.
