Khamzat Chimaev might get his best shot yet
When can we see ‘Borz’ again?
As mentioned before, Chimaev has refused to fight against Dricus Du Plessis or anyone for that matter at UFC 300. Moreover, even the champion, who was earlier enthusiastic about an April bout soon backed out on his statement. ‘Stillknocks’ had bigger priorities in mind soon after his win.

He went on record about how he would prefer the UFC focus on UFC South Africa instead of the April pay-per-view. For him, that would be a much bigger event and it stands to reason since he’s the first South African UFC champion.
So in terms of big fights, a matchup between Chimaev and Adesanya would still make sense. This way, ‘Izzy’ gets a chance to reclaim the title that was once his, and ‘Borz’ finally gets the opportunity that he’s been asking for. Will either of them get it going?
