Jared Cannonier is willing to rebook the Khamzat Chimaev fight if he is guaranteed a title shot next.
While Cannonier was offered a short-notice booking against Chimaev at UFC 294, “The Killa Gorilla” suffered an MCL tear in practice shortly after getting the call. Chimaev welcomed former welterweight champ Kamaru Usman to middleweight instead, edging out a majority decision win.
“Borz” claims to have been guaranteed a title shot with a win over Usman and has voiced his frustration about the delay in proceedings.
