After showcasing his power to the world at UFC 273, Khamzat Chimaev has become a threat to the welterweight division. Chimaev, who also competes in the middleweight division, could face opponents from that division as well. let’s take a look at his next potential fights.
UFC Welterweight prospect Khamzat Chimaev might face Colby Covington next. After defeating Gilbert Burns, ‘Chaos’ is another opponent ‘Borz’ needs to defeat for a title shot.
Khamzat Chimaev who also competes in the Middleweight division could get a possible fight against Marvin Vettori after the display he put at UFC 273
Jorge Masvidal looks like a strong potential opponent for Chimaev. Masvidal who is a great striker will be another testing point for Chimaev’s MMA career ahead in the division.
After his win over number 2 contender, Burns, Chimaev might also get his title chance. If not immediately but maybe after a couple of fights. Usman will be a strong competition for ‘Borz’.
If and when Khamzat Chimaev moves up in the Middleweight rankings, Israel Adesanya will be a tough force for him to go against. This match-up though a little far-fetched for now, might get true someday.
