Khamzat Chimaev is “obsessed” with getting the Sean Strickland rematch, per his team 😳
“The rematch with Sean Strickland is the only fight that Khamzat wants, he is obsessed with it. That's the only fight he will accept right now.
We've requested a rematch. There's an event in Abu Dhabi in October and we want to do it there. We want the second fight. Right now we have no other goals.
There was a problem with the weight cut. The question became whether to cancel the fight or take the risk. When there was 1.2 kg left, his body shut down. Oxygen deprivation. His body malfunctioned.
Khamzat himself said he didn't know how he'd fight in that condition.”
