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.

Chimaev shrugs off Strickland–Imavov title talk, eyes staying active and Borralho path

Khamzat Chimaev says he isn’t bothered by rumors that Sean Strickland might defend the UFC middleweight title against Nassourdine Imavov, and he plans to stay active and pursue a title, with a possible bout versus Caio Borralho. Imavov, on a six‑fight unbeaten streak and having defeated Israel Adesanya, is viewed as a top contender, while Strickland remains the reigning champ. Chimaev is also set to wrestle Tyron Woodley in Moscow as he continues his 185‑pound quest.
