Khamzat Chimaev on potential fights: I might ‘choke out’ Maia, says Till is ‘not my level’

Khamzat Chimaev is arguably the hottest prospect in the UFC at the moment, but the man nicknamed “Borz” is struggling to find an opponent for his next fight.

Chimaev (9-0) caught the eye of the MMA world after winning three UFC fights in three months, all by stoppage. The latest was a 17-second knockout of Gerald Meerschaert in September. The 26-year-old has called out a lengthy list of names for his next fight, including the likes of Demian Maia and Darren Till.

“Borz” was on “Fight Island” ahead of his teammate Guram Kutateladze’s UFC debut, and spoke to reporters about his next potential opponent

“I don’t know, I’m waiting for somebody,” Chimaev said.
