Media Chimaev precisely decsribed Strickland´s mindset last year

[octagonation]

Khamzat is full of wisdom but lost in translation he sees things way ahead of time and is good judge of characters.

He said this before his Whittaker fight, he basically said what Din Thomas, Erick Nicksick and other critics said but just way before that timeline and ahead of them. He basically said Sean is not that guy and he is not here to compete when Bisping asked about the DDP vs Sean fight while still being polite. He basically hinted at Strickland not being serious about winning or losing and only there for one last big paycheck.

In all seriousness some guys have an incredible mind for the sport like that. Khabib has always been shockingly spot on in his assessments, and there is someone else like that that I'm somehow blanking on right now....

Then there are the guys like Zahabi and even Cejudo that want so desperately to play that role but they simply can't do it and have shit coming out of their ears half the time.

A new legend is born, wise Khamzat with eyeglasses on.

Khamzat is 30 and he's rocking those I'm in my 80s glasses

I'm sensing you're a BJ Penn fan who is still upset Georges handed him his ass.

I'm definitely a BJ Penn fan but GSP too. Zahabi, like Greg Jackson, got super far up his own ass for a while, that's all. They both did this try hard character where they acted like they were so intellectual and bringing up philosophy and physics in this try hard way.

I think most people could have predicted that, strickland has had issues in the past of not listening to his corner like in the cannonier fight. He will show up and do the same thing he always does, if it doesn't work then he kind of just accepts losing rounds, no grit or heart to try to make something happen

Bespectacled Chimaev sees these things.

Totally impressed with Khamzat's English!
