Former UFC champion Michael Bisping is helping Khamzat Chimaev’s future opponent.
UFC 319 won the indisputable middleweight world championship with Chimaev finally winning cash on the occasion of his much-anticipated title and offering a dominant five-round performance against Doricus du Plessis.
Chimaev recorded 12 takedowns for control times of over 21 minutes and South African senses. Boltz also managed to put the “DDP” in the position of the horrifying cross, making Duplesis as a turtle lying on his back.
With candidates already lined up and trying to abdicate the undefeated Chechnian monsters, “The Count” provided a tutorial on how to escape the cross.
Perhaps that little advice is useful for Chimaev’s first title challenger.
Who was the first of middleweight king Kahamzachmaev in the UFC?
As for who it will be, there are plenty of viable candidates sitting near the top of the middleweight division. With both UFC Paris and UFC Vancouver feature high stakes scrap at 185 pounds and serious title impacts on the boot, clear competitors should emerge in the next few months.
First, you’ll see top-ranked competitor Nassourdine Imavov running on September 6th, fighting nerdy founder Caio Borralho in “The City of Light.”
About a month later, former two-division One World champion Reinier de Ridder heads to Great White North for a showdown with outstanding Anthony ‘Fluffy’ Hernandez and aims to continue his hot streak.
Chance will be one of the four men to fight Chimeh. And not just who wins, but who will deliver the most impressive performance in each of their scraps.
