The Absolute Fighting Championship (UFC) has found a rival for the Chechen-born Swede Khamzat Chimaev. Reported by Frontkick.online in Twitter.
The opponent of the 27-year-old fighter may be the Brazilian Gilbert Burns, who occupies the second line in the UFC welterweight rankings.
Chimaev has repeatedly expressed his readiness to fight with representatives of the top 5 of the division. In particular, he talked about the desire to compete for the title with the reigning welterweight champion – Kamaru Usman. The head of the UFC, Dana White, expressed the opinion that the Chechen needs to fight several fights with serious rivals.
In the last fight, Chimaev defeated Chinese Li Jingliang. He ended the fight in the first round, forcing his opponent to surrender. This victory was the fourth in a row for the Swedish fighter in the UFC. Chimaev completed all his fights within the framework of the organization ahead of schedule.
