The matchup flying under the radar at UFC 267 is without a doubt the second fight on the main card in eleventh ranked Li Jingliang taking on a returning and confident Khamzat Chimaev. Both men have big things to prove, for Li he has a chance to break into the top ten and become a face of the Chinese MMA scene alongside Zhang Weili, for Chimaev he has a chance to earn a ranking by beating a top guy who has a ton of respect in the MMA community.
Earlier this year, Khamzat Chimaev was diagnosed with COVID-19, and despite being a young and healthy adult, he had a very severe case and a long and hard battle with the virus.
