said<\/a> on UFC 328 Countdown. \u201cBut I\u2019m the only one who can do it. I\u2019ve been training for that style of grappler for such a long time, it\u2019s like you know what they are going to do.<\/p>\n\u201cThey are going to grab you, hug your legs, maybe hit a crucifix, and pin you against the cage. The UFC knows we are going to have a war, and he\u2019s not going to sit there and dry hump my leg for 25 minutes. He\u2019s going to wrestle me to try to prove a point that he\u2019s a better wrestler than me.\u201d<\/p>\n
Sean Strickland expects to TKO Khamzat Chimaev<\/p>\n
Although Khamzat Chimaev is known for his wrestling, Sean Strickland isn\u2019t sure he will wrestle him.<\/p>\n
Instead, he believes he can stuff the takedowns, and Chimaev knows that, which will lead to a kickboxing fight. With it leading to a kickboxing fight, Strickland is confident he will get a TKO win.<\/p>\n
\u201cBut, I think a part of him knows if we do wrestle, I\u2019ll just counter wrestle, I\u2019ll get up, I\u2019ll get on top. Or, complete opposite, he knows he can\u2019t take me down, and we kick box for five rounds, and when that happens, you will see him get frustrated, throw big punches. I\u2019m going to tag him at will. We will see who handles deep water better. You are going to drown. Fourth or fifth-round TKO for me.\u201d<\/p>\n
Strickland enters UFC 328 with a record of 30-7 and is coming off a TKO win over Anthony Hernandez.<\/p>\n
