‘Borz’ holds a professional mixed martial arts record of 10 wins and 0 losses. That success makes Chimaev one of MMA's hottest prospects, and has the Russian ranked No. 11 among all octagon welterweights.
The 27-year-old has competed in the UFC welterweight and middleweight divisions since his July 2020 promotional debut. The grappling maven has secured dominant stoppage victories in each of his appearances with the world's largest MMA employer.
UFC president Dana White recently said his matchmakers hope to book a fight between Diaz and Chimaev in the near future.
Khamzat Chimaev’s biggest test apart from UFC welterweight kingpin Kamaru Usman could be Colby Covington
Nate Diaz has one fight left on his current UFC contract. It’s unclear who he’ll face next or whether he’ll re-sign with the UFC. Diaz has emphasized he isn’t interested in fighting a “rookie” like Khamzat Chimaev.
Another notable welterweight who could fight Khamzat Chimaev if Diaz falls through is Colby Covington. ‘Chaos’ is a former interim UFC welterweight champion and is hailed as one of the top wrestlers in his division.
Apart from Kamaru Usman, it’s believed only Covington has the grappling skills to nullify fellow wrestling wizard Chimaev.
Further, Khamzat Chimaev and Colby Covington have expressed interest in fighting one another. A win over ‘Chaos’ could likely earn Chimaev a shot at Usman’s UFC welterweight title, which further adds to the allure of this potential matchup.
