Meanwhile, ‘Borz’ is yet to respond to the callout. The Chechen star is an undefeated fighter with a professional record of 10-0 under his name. He made his UFC debut in 2020.
With no losses in the promotion, ‘Borz’ has finished all of his four opponents, three in the very first round of the fight. He recently delivered a dominant performance at UFC 267, securing a first-round finish. Ever since then, the Russian-born is waiting for his next opponent.
Khamzat Chimaev will soon be back to UFC action
Besides obliterating his opponents inside the UFC cage, ‘Borz’ has been asking for more and more fights from the promotion. Earlier, the UFC faced difficulties finding him an opponent.
However, now the Chechen star has a name that matches his fighting style. ‘The Wolf’ has been in a back-and-forth on the internet with the Brazilian welterweight Gilbert Burns for some time.
Interestingly, both the 170lbs combatants have verbally agreed to fight. Hence, the promotion is looking to make this matchup. However, the fight is yet to be announced officially.
Both Burns and Chimaev are some of the best wrestlers in the welterweight division. Therefore, this bout will surely be a delightful treat for the fight fans if it comes to fruition.
