Dana White revealed what Khamzat Chimaev’s future in the UFC might look like

The UFC supremo, Dana White, recently appeared at a press meet and talked about one of the most coveted UFC issues. Despite the dominant display of his fight prowess at UFC 279, the feared UFC Welterweight, Khamzat Chimaev, hadn’t got himself on any recent fight card yet. This had a lot of fans wondering about ‘Borz’s future UFC bouts.

He had also expressed his desire to go up to Middleweight and claim the championship apart from his known choice of fighting “everybody”. At the conference, White also sang the same tune as he stated, “Yeah, he’ll [Khamzat Chimaev] fight at middleweight. And yes, he’s in a position where he should be fighting top 3 guys in the world.”

A lot of fans might take White‘s final sentence as an acceptance of ‘The Chechnyan native’s superb in-octagon skills.

Notably, a video of ‘El Jefe’ performing a sexual act with another male had already got viral on social media prior to his announcement. Molina‘s confession notes also revealed that it was not the way he had planned to announce his sexuality.

He also laid stress on the fact that he “wanted to be known for his skills” and not as the “bi UFC fighter”. Sadly, he also expressed his confidence that some would definitely turn his unwanted “bi UFC fighter” label to “gay UFC fighter.
