Du Plessis Predicts Strickland Will Repeat Victory Over Imavov in 2027

Former champion Dricus du Plessis predicts Sean Strickland will defeat Nassourdine Imavov in their upcoming title rematch, citing Strickland's superior cardio and defensive ground game. While the fight is expected in early 2027, du Plessis notes that Strickland's forward pressure neutralizes Imavov's striking style, similar to how he defeated Israel Adesanya. Meanwhile, Khamzat Chimaev has offered $1 million for a rematch, but Strickland remains focused on Imavov.
