UFC: matchup between Kamaru Usman and Khamzat Chimaev
Kamaru Usman, who is known as “The Nigerian Nightmare,” has been looking for his next opponent after losing back-to-back title fights against Leon Edwards.

Kamaru Usman, also known as “The Nigerian Nightmare.” He is a former champion of the UFC’s welterweight division, boasting an impressive record of 20 victories and only 3 defeats. Usman is a true martial arts phenom, having won the NCAA Division II National Championship in 2010 and earned a coveted black belt in Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu. He also emerged victorious in The Ultimate Fighter 21 competition and currently holds the #5 spot in the UFC rankings.
Now, let’s talk about Khamzat Chimaev, aka “Borz.” He is a rising star in the UFC and currently holds the #3 ranking in the welterweight division. Chimaev is a force to be reckoned with, having never lost a professional MMA fight with 12 victories under his belt. He is a three-time gold medalist in National Swedish Wrestling, and holds the distinction of achieving the fastest three-fight win streak in modern UFC history, all within a mere 66 days. Keep an eye on this guy, he’s definitely one to watch in the octagon.
However, there is one condition that UFC President Dana White has set for the potential matchup. Chimaev has missed weight in the past, and White wants to ensure that the fight is fair and competitive. He has stated that he would only entertain the idea of the fight if it takes place at 185 pounds, a weight class above the welterweight division.
While Usman has been eyeing another shot at the welterweight title, he has called Chimaev out for a catchweight fight. The two fighters have been going back and forth on social media, with Chimaev stating that he is willing to fight Usman at 175 pounds or 185 pounds, while Usman has been adamant about the catchweight fight.
The potential matchup has sparked a lot of interest among fans. Follow InsideSport on GOOGLE NEWS / For UFC News updates with InsideSport.IN
