Good performance from Strickland at the weekend there, but I still think Imavov is ahead of him. Khamzat's ground game is probably levels above either of these guys, though.

I really want Khamzat to fight a guy with great grappling defense if we're only going to see him defend the strap once a year.

Yep. Khamzat's my favourite fighter but the Middleweight division is gonna be backlogged with challengers if they don't at least get him up to 2 defences a year.
