Khamzat Chimaev Fires Back At Fans “I Make Millions” Amid Inactivity Critisism Ahead Of UFC 328
The last time Khamzat Chimaev competed inside the UFC Octagon was during the UFC 319 main event against Dricus Du Plessis. He secured a dominant victory to become UFC middleweight champion and is now scheduled to compete again at UFC 328.
Chimaev will face former champion and longtime rival Sean Strickland in the main event, with massive anticipation surrounding their showdown. However, many fans have criticised his inactivity, questioning why the champion has not fought more frequently since capturing the title.
In a recent interview, the Russian fighter addressed these concerns, explaining his situation while defending his preparation and activity levels. “I don’t care. I make millions. These people are just talking and doing nothing. I make more money out of the UFC… wherever I go, people want to sponsor, they want to do different things with me,” said Khamzat Chimaev via Beyond The Win.
The UFC middleweight division has seen a surge of new contenders, and everyone wants a fight against Khamzat Chimaev. Apart from fighting, The ‘Borz’ has been busy appearing in several different events.

Top middleweight contender predicts Khamzat Chimaev vs. Sean Strickland
Khamzat Chimaev and Sean Strickland have a rivalry that goes back years and is extremely intense and personal. They have shared multiple verbal exchanges, and according to Strickland, he can defeat the Russian.
Going into the fight, Chimaev is the betting favourite to win the bout. Following Strickland’s last performance, many have started to back him. Top middleweight contender Joe Pyfer also shared a similar sentiment and recently shared his prediction for the upcoming bout. “I got Sean Strickland. I’m not even going to say it, but I’m not a fan of the other side,” said Joe Pyfer via Deatherow MMA.
Joe Pyfer recently beat former two-time middleweight champion Israel Adesanya via TKO in the main event of UFC Seattle. The fighter will have his eyes on this title fight as he could potentially fight the winner of Strickland vs. Chimaev later this year.
