After Dana White Shut Down His Demands, UFC Insider Discloses Disturbing Update on Khamzat Chimaev’s Inactivity in Major Revelation – “Chimaev Can’t Travel”

Is Khamzat Chimaev playing a mere game of hide and seek with the UFC? Or is there a reason behind his absence from the octagon? Fans last saw Chimaev at UFC 279 back in September, where the Swedish fighter’s weight miss caused a ruckus on the PPV. Fast forward to 9 months later, and we still have no idea about Borz’s return.

For the last few weeks, there were some conversations in the air about a fight between Khamzat Chimaev and Kamaru Usman. However, UFC boss Dana White quickly shut down all speculations, primarily because Chimaev and Usman belong to different weight divisions. Recently, a UFC veteran dropped a bombshell revelation about what could be the possible reason behind Chimaev’s absence.

Chael Sonnen highlights a prominent rumor that explains the inactivity of Khamzat Chimaev

UFC legend Chael Sonnen uploaded a video talking about the canceled fight between Chimaev and Usman. In the 10-minute-long clip, Sonnen also discussed the possible reason behind the Swedish fighter’s absence from UFC. He stated, “There’s a rumor that Chimaev can’t travel, for passport reasons. Fight at Fight Island! Nobody wants rumors said about them, but this one won’t go away.”

Further, as per the American Gangster, even Chimaev’s team is not trying to put an end to this rumor, which may prove that it actually exists. He stated, “And you want to know something else? Nobody stepped up to stop it. Chimaev has got coaches, they have the stick to stop it. And then we’ll see Chimaev in other places. See, so here’s the story that’s believed – Chimaev can’t travel, he can’t go to fight Island.”

Who is Khamzat Chimaev’s next fight against?

In a different video, Sonnen talked about the 29-year-old fighter’s future as a middleweight fighter. According to Sonnen, Chimaev is going to face Jared Cannonier next. Moreover, the MMA fighter-turned-YouTuber even revealed that if Borz wins, he might directly land in a title fight against Israel Adesanya. Sonnen revealed, “We now apparently have a fight between Chimaev and Jared Cannonier. As much as that is known it is believed that Chimaev’s next fight will be his only fight prior to fighting for the belt.”

While there is no concrete answer to the question of who gets to fight Chimaev next, one fighter is more than eager to go up against ‘Borz’. The no.11 ranked middleweight fighter, Brendan Allen, declared that he has no problems going up against ‘Borz’. “I fear no man. I turn down no fight. If that’s what he wants, he can come get it. I don’t care,” said the burgeoning middleweight. Now, time will tell as fans await to see the UFC super-prospect Khamzat Chimaev inside the octagon.
