About the match
Khamzat Chimaev finally gets his belt shot at middleweight, and Sean Strickland is exactly the wrong opponent — or the right one — depending on your appetite for chaos. Strickland's pressure-Philly Shell is the most awkward stylistic puzzle in the division, and Chimaev's gas tank past round two has been an open question since Burns. The Prudential Center crowd will be loud and partisan; expect Strickland to bait, Chimaev to chase the takedown early, and the championship rounds to decide it. The flyweight title co-main between Joshua Van and Tatsuro Taira is the kind of pace-fight that justifies turning up at 6pm ET.
