Robert Whittaker doesn’t think Khamzat Chimaev has any serious threats at middleweight.
Nassourdine Imavov announced himself as the next middleweight contender with a win over Caio Borralho in the main event at UFC Paris last Saturday. However, Whittaker doesn’t think Imavov — or anyone else — can dethrone Chimaev anytime soon. “Bobby Knuckles” believes the key to beating Chimaev is elite jiu-jitsu, which he doesn’t think Imavov possesses.
