Anthony Hernandez: I have the tools to beat Khamzat Chimaev

Anthony Hernandez said he can overwhelm Khamzat Chimaev with versatility as he prepares to headline UFC Houston against Sean Strickland on Feb. 21 in a potential middleweight title eliminator. Anthony Hernandez and Khamzat Chimaev are central to the division's next title picture, with the Strickland matchup positioned as a key filter. Hernandez argues his grappling defense can withstand Chimaev's wrestling and says he is comfortable striking or grappling. He enters at 15-2 with an eight-fight winning streak and six finishes, including recent victories over Roman Kopylov, Michel Pereira, Brendan Allen, and Roman Dolidze. Strickland (29-7) has also described Hernandez as the stronger wrestler.
