As mentioned before, Chimaev has refused to fight against Dricus Du Plessis or anyone for that matter at UFC 300. Moreover, even the champion, who was earlier enthusiastic about an April bout soon backed out on his statement. ‘Stillknocks’ had bigger priorities in mind soon after his win.

So in terms of big fights, a matchup between Chimaev and Adesanya would still make sense. This way, ‘Izzy’ gets a chance to reclaim the title that was once his, and ‘Borz’ finally gets the opportunity that he’s been asking for. Will either of them get it going?
