Dominance MMA CEO Ali Abdelaziz likes Kamaru Usman’s chances against Khamzat Chimaev, but he hopes to see ‘The Nigerian Nightmare’ fight ‘Borz’ sooner rather than later.
Abdelaziz thinks Chimaev will be virtually unbeatable in about two years but, as of right now, the Chechnan-born Swede is still ‘very young’ in the sport and thus prone to mistakes.
That’s why Abdelaziz thinks Usman should fight Khamzat ASAP rather than wait for the undefeated welterweight to further develop and refine his craft.
“Khamzat is young, you know. If you want to beat Khamzat, you fight him now, you understand, because you’re still very young in the sport,” Abdelaziz, who manages Usman, told ESPN in a recent interview (h/t Sportskeeda).
