A photo circulating across multiple platforms offers a close look at the physical toll UFC 328 took on Khamzat Chimaev, with the image captured the day after his middleweight bout against Sean Strickland.
Strickland, the reigning middleweight champion, entered the fight at 31-7-0. The 35-year-old American trains out of Xtreme Couture and fights out of an orthodox stance. Standing six-foot-one with a 76-inch reach, he is one of the division's most active strikers, landing 6.04 significant strikes per minute. His output is relentless, and the Chimaev bout appears to have been no exception, judging by the aftermath visible in the shared image.
Chimaev, ranked first in the middleweight division and tenth pound-for-pound, came in at 15-1-0. The 32-year-old representing the United Arab Emirates and training at Allstars Training Center is a physically imposing presence at six-foot-two with a 75-inch reach. While his striking accuracy sits at a remarkable 60 percent, his game is built heavily around grappling — he averages 5.29 takedowns per 15 minutes and 1.8 submission attempts in the same span.
