Chimaev won! Why did they give the victory to Strickland?!

Ural FC fighter Nikita Mikhailov commented on Khamzat Chimaev's defeat by Sean Strickland at UFC 328 in Newark, New Jersey.

"Of course, there is a lot of talk about the result of the fight. But in my opinion, Chimaev won this fight. Khamzat was better both in wrestling and in leg grip, he outboxed him.

Yes, Khamzat was a little tired, but this does not allow us to say that Strickland was better or that he won. I do not know why Sean was awarded the victory. I do not know at all.

Well, okay, I would give Strickland one round. That's it. Right now I talk to athletes and discuss this fight and almost everyone says that Khamzat was unfairly unfair. This is the UFC; maybe they are playing their own internal games", Mikhailov told Championat.com.
