Surging UFC Middleweight Believes Khamzat Chimaev Would Thrive at Light Heavyweight
MMA Veteran Takes Aim at Khamzat Chimaev's Dominance: "It's Boring."A surging UFC middleweight contender has shared his thoughts on how Khamzat Chimaev would fare as a light heavyweight.
Chimaev, the newly minted UFC middleweight kingpin, became the champion at UFC 319 by dominantly dethroning Dricus du Plessis. The Chechen-born Emirati is now on the sidelines because of a minor foot injury that will require surgery. He’s expected to make the first defense of his 185-pound title after Ramadan 2026. Chimaev wants to move up after the first defense of his middleweight belt and chase a second UFC title.
‘Borz’ has also expressed interest in fighting on the White House Card.
