"I'm not giving [Strickland] a chance. Hernandez and Khamzat are completely different levels of grapplers in the way they approach their strategy. I think Khamzat's gonna take him down and submit him."
"[Khamzat's] not gonna be stupid and strike with Sean and make it a kickboxing fight. He's just gonna make it straight grappling. I think he's gonna push Strickland in some really bad positions and either submit him or just hold him out for 25 minutes."
"MMA media member The Schmo saw Strickland getting dominated by Chimaev during sparring at Xtreme Couture."
