A lot will be on the line the next time we see Khamzat Chimaev step in the Octagon.
Chimaev is 6-0 in the UFC, with stunning wins over Gerald Meerschaert, Li Jingliang, and Kevin Holland. His win over Gilbert Burns might be most impressive, though, as the two welterweights turned in a Fight of the Year contender in 2022.
Chimaev’s next fight could be at welterweight or middleweight, and that’s one of the things that is most interesting and terrifying about “Borz,” as he brings so much mystery and skill to the table that fight fans are on the edge of their seats when he competes.
