Khamzat Chimaev burst onto the UFC in 2020 with a win over John Phillips. ‘Borz’ then followed that up with wins over Rhys McKee, and Gerald Meerschaert in just a few days’ time. Chimaev established himself as a superstar in the UFC after his 17-second knockout win over Meerschaert.
Chimaev has never been one to shy away from a challenge. Over the past few hours, he issued a challenge to several people, including Brock Lesnar. However, ‘Borz’ might have bitten off more than he can chew with his call out of Daniel Cormier.
He said, “Let’s make a wrestling match brother, what you think?”
