Chimaev: I like Strickland, I make good money from him

UFC middleweight champion (up to 84 kg) Khamzat Chimaev talks about his upcoming fight with former American champion Sean Strickland.

The show will take place on May 10 at UFC 328 in Newark, New Jersey.

"I like Strickland, the UFC will pay well for him. That's the most important thing", said Chimaev, who competes under the flag of the United Arab Emirates.

"Do I like him because he hypes up the fight? Of course. I've never made so much money (smiles). That's good", Chimaev said at a press conference before the event.
