Khamzat Chimaev’s future: UFC legend names his biggest threat

UFC legend Urijah Faber has named a fighter who he believes could serve as a big threat to UFC middleweight champion Khamzat Chimaev.

As we know, Khamzat Chimaev is the king of the middleweight division – and he’s teasing the idea of making the shift up in weight to 205 pounds. While nobody really knows what exactly is going to happen there, we can all see that he’s chasing greatness, and he’s chasing the big fights.

Of course, at middleweight, there are still some interesting names for Khamzat Chimaev to face off against. Nassourdine Imavov seems to be the leading contender at this moment in time but with a division like this one, it’s understandable to see why ‘Borz’ is more intrigued by a showdown with Alex Pereira at light heavyweight.
