Khamzat Chimaev has been begging for a UFC contender for the past few months. It seems that he’s finally going to get it.<\/p>\n
‘Borz’ has recently been calling out seemingly anyone and everyone for a fight. Even slamming top figures such as Kamaru Usman, Conor McGregor, and Brock Lesnar<\/a>. However, he’s been unable to get any high-profile bout since his destruction of Li Jingliang in October 2021.<\/p>\n However, according to Combate’s Raphael Marinho, he will soon get his wish. Chimaev is allegedly going to be throwing down with top welterweight contender Gilbert Burns at UFC 273. That is, if Chimaev’s US VISA is approved in time for the bout.<\/p>\n Originally, the two fighters were set to be on UFC 274 in Brazil. However, that card has recently been moved. In response, the UFC has decided to throw the massive welterweight clash on UFC 273 as a result.<\/p>\n Al\u00e9m das duas disputas de cintur\u00e3o envolvendo brasileiros (Glover e Do Bronx), UFC negociava para ter Gilbert Durinho X Khamzat Chimaev no Brasil. Tend\u00eancia agora \u00e9 que a luta seja antecipada para 9 de abril, a depender da aprova\u00e7\u00e3o do visto de entrada nos EUA de Chimaev.<\/p>\n — Raphael Marinho (@raphamarinho) January 28, 2022<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n
