Chimaev Doubles Imavov's Offer To Strickland With $1 Million Bid

UFC middleweight champion Sean Strickland has two contenders offering their own money to land a title fight, with negotiations over his first defense still unsettled.

No. 3-ranked Nassourdine Imavov offered $500,000 of his own cash if Strickland faces him in January and wins, following reports that talks had stalled over Strickland's purse: "If it's really about money, I'll put $500,000 of my own money on the line if you beat me in January," Imavov

No. 1 contender Khamzat Chimaev, the former champion, then doubled the figure: "Strickland I will pay you 1 [million]. Send me location and let's fight," Chimaev
