Anthony Hernandez looks ahead to possible Khamzat Chimaev clash
UFC middleweight contender Anthony Hernandez has looked ahead to the possibility of him challenging Khamzat Chimaev.
As we know, Anthony Hernandez is easily one of the most exciting contenders in the middleweight division. This weekend, he will attempt to pick up the biggest win of his career thus far when he goes up against the always controversial former champion Sean Strickland.
If he’s able to win, and do so decisively, there’s a big argument to be made that Anthony Hernandez should be the number one contender. Whether or not that actually happens, though, is a different matter, especially given both the inactivity of Khamzat Chimaev and the presence of Nassourdine Imavov.
In a recent interview, Hernandez had the following to say about potentially taking on Chimaev in the future.
Hernandez looks to the future
“My grappling defense is really good, so that’s one thing,” Hernandez told New York Post Sports. “I think I can force him to stay on his feet. I don’t give a f*ck where it goes: grappling, striking, standing up. He’s got one thing and I’ve got a f*cking arsenal, so I don’t really give a f*ck.
“I want my time to prove that I’m the champion. If he’s the challenger, whoever the f*ck has the belt, I don’t give a f*ck. I’m going to take that belt, clear out this division, and you’ll probably never see me again because I’m out.”
