Fans talks about the absence of Khamzat Chimaev
Khamzat Chimaev’s fans have been eagerly anticipating his return to the UFC since his impressive win over Kevin Holland in September 2022, but he has been mysteriously absent from the octagon ever since. Recently, MMA Orbit took to Twitter to inquire about the possible reasons behind Chimaev’s prolonged absence, and fans responded with a plethora of creative theories and speculations.
According to some fans, Chimaev’s prolonged absence from the UFC may be due to his failure to make weight by 10 pounds at 170, and he is not yet ready to fight at 185. Others speculate that he may be trying to avoid USADA by making unrealistic callouts that are unlikely to happen, such as his recent callout of Pereira for December, which came just after his intense battle with Izzy the previous month. Some even suggest that Chimaev’s association with Kadyrov could be preventing him from entering the country, leading to his absence from the octagon.
Keeping the speculation aside, the wait for his return may soon be over, as he is slated to make a comeback at the UFC’s upcoming event in Abu Dhabi this October. Although there were initial rumors of a fight against Paulo Costa, it seems that this plan may have been derailed with Costa’s recent booking against Ikram Aliskerov in late July. But one thing is sure that his fans will be delighted after the announcement of his return.
