Magomed Ankalaev Dares Khamzat Chimaev to Come Up a Weight Class: “No Problem”

If Khamzat Chimaev wants to test his mettle at 205, Magomed Ankalaev is more than ready to welcome the undefeated Chechen monster.

Earlier this month, ‘Borz’ delivered one of the most dominant performances in UFC history, handily defeating Dricus Du Plessis to capture the undisputed middleweight world title.

While there are no plans for Chimaev to fight again in 2025, there are plenty of title contenders lining up for their shot at the newly minted 185-pound king, including Reinier de Ridder, Caio Borralho, and the division’s top-ranked contender, Nassourdine Imavov.
