Khamzat Chimaev could leapfrog Sean Strickland for the title, according to Daniel Cormier

Daniel Cormier hinted that Khamzat Chimaev could leap ahead of Sean Strickland for the next middleweight title shot. Following Chimaev’s dominant victory over former champion Robert Whittaker at UFC 308, Cormier speculated that the UFC brass might be reshuffling their plans, possibly favoring Chimaev as the new top contender.

Commentating during UFC 308, 'DC' shared his thoughts on the aftermath of Chimaev’s performance, stating:

"[Chimaev] took [Whittaker] down, choked him, and broke his jaw. Broke his jaw with a squeeze from a rear naked choke. It was nuts to see him do that to a guy that once again was [one of the guys] in the generation before him... If you're Sean Strickland, that result worries you because Mick Maynard sitting right next to me jumps up runs to Dana [White] and they start talking to Hunter [Campbell]. Then Dana immediately runs over to Chimaev and talks to him. That's scary to a guy that's considered the No. 1 contender."
