Khamzat Chimaev vows to pursue Sean Strickland across weight
\nclasses after losing their UFC 328 title fight<\/h2>\n

Asked whether he would wrestle Strickland in Real American
\nFreestyle if he could not secure a UFC rematch, Chimaev said he was
\ndetermined to make the matchup happen.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe will make the matchup, bro. Don\u2019t worry. Light heavyweight,
\nheavyweight, wherever he goes, we go after him. I\u2019m the hunter.
\nHe\u2019s a chicken running away,\u201d Chimaev said.<\/p>\n

Chimaev said he would move up if Strickland competed at
\nheavyweight.<\/p>\n

Chimaev has repeatedly called for a rematch since losing his
\nundefeated record and championship to Strickland. He previously
\nindicated he was willing to face the winner of a potential matchup
\nbetween Strickland and Nassourdine
\nImavov<\/a>.<\/p>\n
