Khamzat Chimaev has reportedly offered Sean Strickland $1 million to fight him, according to a report from Boxemag. This offer follows Chimaev's first career loss to Strickland, which occurred during the main event of UFC 328 in May. In that match, Strickland won by split decision and claimed the middleweight title. Since then, Chimaev has been seeking a rematch, but it appears that Nassourdine Imavov may be the next challenger for the middleweight title, although this has not been officially confirmed.
In a message to Strickland, Chimaev proposed the $1 million offer, using the slang term "a lemon" to refer to one million dollars. He also asked Strickland to provide a location for the fight, whether inside or outside the cage. This offer comes just days after Imavov proposed to pay Strickland $500,000 if the latter wins their rematch.
The initial rematch between Strickland and Imavov was scheduled for UFC 335, but the event was postponed after Strickland requested more money from the UFC. The situation has created a complex dynamic among fighters and the organization, as both Chimaev and Imavov are vying for a shot at the title.
The potential for a high-stakes rematch or a new challenge adds to the intrigue surrounding the middleweight division in the UFC. Fans and analysts are closely watching how the situation develops, as it could influence the future of the title and the fighters' careers.
