Luke Rockhold: Khamzat Chimaev 'dominates everybody in grappling' at 205 pounds

Luke Rockhold said Khamzat Chimaev could dominate most at light heavyweight but urged him to avenge his latest defeat first.Khamzat Chimaev fell to Sean Strickland by split decision in the UFC 328 main event, his first professional loss. Dana White said Chimaev told him he wants to move to light heavyweight after the bout.Chimaev appeared drained at weigh-ins, and critics accused him of missing weight, while his wrestling waned after a failed second-round takedown. Rockhold, a longtime training partner, previously backed Chimaev to dominate Strickland and now contends the 205-pound field lacks strong grapplers. He cited Magomed Ankalaev as a possible exception and maintained that a rematch with Strickland should precede any move up.
