Sean
Strickland did not emerge unscathed from his championship clash
with Khamzat
Chimaev.

In a post on social media, the newly-crowned middleweight champion
revealed that he suffered the following injuries: Type 2 AC
separation, an extended Type 5 SLAP tear, and a partial rotator
cuff tear/tendinosis. Strickland has received an indefinite medical
suspension from the New Jersey State Athletic Control Board as a
result.

Shoulder Pains

All of the above are shoulder-related ailments. Strickland also

revealed that he suffered a Grade 1 AC joint separation while
sparring Johnny
Eblen during UFC 328
fight week.

“Gonna have to walk this one off,” Strickland added on X.

Strickland defeated Chimaev via split-decision in the UFC 328
headliner at the Prudential Center in Newark, New Jersey. It’s the
second time Strickland has captured welterweight gold. While he
acknowledged Nassourdine
Imavov as the likely No. 1 contender, Chimaev’s team recently

released a statement announcing that “Borz” is “obsessed” with
getting an immediate rematch against Strickland.
