“Honestly, at the moment I’m going to move up to middleweight and will be looking for a fight with Khamzat Chimaev,” BJPenn quotes the American. “I can fight at middleweight, it doesn’t bother me. So I’ll go up and maybe he’ll play the game. I made it to the top at welterweight, and I’ll do it at middleweight as well. If I don’t get a title shot at 170 then give me exciting fights. Give me Chimaev, give me Sean Strickland, someone I really don’t like, whom I can’t stand, and whose face I’d love to smash.”
Khamzat Chimaev will reportedly fight his next fight on October 21st at UFC 294 in Abu Dhabi against former middleweight title contender Paulo Costa, and Sean Strickland doesn’t have a fight scheduled, but he said in a recent interview that he’s ready soon. back to the octagon.
