Khamzat Chimaev will return to the Octagon this October after more than a year on the shelf.
‘Borz’ took the UFC by storm in 2020, scoring three wins in the span of eight weeks. Since then, he has added three more impressive victories, dispatching Li Jingliang, Gilbert Burns, and Kevin Holland. On October 21, Chimaev will look to score his 13th career win and a potential middleweight title opportunity as he faces his toughest test to date in one-time UFC title challenger Paulo Costa.
‘The Eraser’ will be making his first appearance since claiming a win over former middleweight champ Luke Rockhold at UFC 278.
