Undefeated welterweight contender, Khamzat Chimaev still has hope that he stands across from former undisputed division champion and former pound-for-pound number one, Kamaru Usman at UFC 294 in October – claiming he has yet to be approached with another fight for the Middle East return yet.
Chimaev, the current number four ranked welterweight contender, has been sidelined since he co-headlined UFC 279 back in September of last year, submitting Kevin Holland with a first roud D’Arce choke submission win.
The victory propelled Chimaev to 12-0 as a professional, following a close, unanimous decision win over one-time title challenger, Gilbert Burns in April of last year.
