HE ONLY WANTS THE WINNER - Khamzat Chimaev Picks His Next Fight

Khamzat Chimaev has picked his next fight before it's even booked: the winner of Sean Strickland vs Nassourdine Imavov, a matchup that puts the middleweight belt right back in his sights. The panel is split on whether the man who lost the title in his first defense deserves an instant path back to the top of the division. This breakdown runs through every side of the argument. Michael Bisping backs the closeness of the scorecards and points to fatigue late in the fight. Dricus du Plessis says the rankings have to be earned first, rivalry or not. Georges St-Pierre rates Chimaev the more talented fighter but still gives Strickland a live path to the upset. Kamaru Usman lays out the tune-up blueprint for a dethroned champion, while Brendan Allen, Kenny Florian, Ariel Helwani and Chael Sonnen all weigh in on whether Imavov's case for the shot gets buried under a rematch nobody outside the cage seems to be asking for. The real question isn't motivation - it's correction. Does Chimaev fix what broke down last time, or does he run it back unchanged?
