Caio Borralho previews potential future UFC fight with ‘Friend’ Khamzat Chimaev: ‘I can beat him’

Working his way through middleweight foes, Brazilian star, Caio Borralho admits he would rather tackle the incumbent, Dricus du Plessis for the title in the future, but insists if he’s pitted with his close “friend”, Khamzat Chimaev — he can dispatch the Chechen, too.

Borralho, the current number six ranked middleweight contender, has been urged to make his return in a title eliminator against recent big winner, Nassourdine Imavov — off the back of his splendid UFC Saudia Arabia win, with the champion welcoming a clash with Chimaev first and foremost.

Most recently turning in his staggering fourteenth straight professional victory, Fight Nerds staple, Borralho took home a dominant unanimous decision win over last week’s headliner, Jared Cannonier, landing his seventh Octagon victory to boot since his debut outing just less than three years ago.
