Chimaev Focuses on Money, Not Belt, Ahead of UFC 328

UFC middleweight champion Khamzat Chimaev says he’s more interested in the payday than the belt as he prepares for his first title defense against Sean Strickland at UFC 328.

Chimaev, undefeated and ranked among the world’s top pound‑for‑pound fighters, has made it clear that his motivation is financial. He told reporters he doesn’t care about the championship belt and that the UFC 328 main event will be his biggest payday yet. “I’m still the hunter,” he said. “If I was going after the belt, I would finish my career. I already had the belt. I’m going for the money.” The bout will take place at the Prudential Center in Newark, New Jersey, and marks Chimaev’s first title defense against former champion Sean Strickland. milkshakeslot.lat
