One fighter who has caught Cormier’s attention in recent years is ‘Borz’, a Swedish fighter who has made a splash in both the middleweight and welterweight divisions. Khamzat Chimaev has sent notice to his fellow fighters, and Cormier believes that some may be ducking him as a result.

Chimaev’s star power hasn’t gone unnoticed. He was even offered four different opponents for his next fight! It’s still a mystery whether they’re from the middleweight or welterweight division. But one thing’s for sure – Chimaev is a force to be reckoned with and has generated a lot of excitement in the UFC community. Could a title fight against a champion be on the horizon for the Swedish fighter?

DC on Chimaev targeting Alex Pereira in a potential dream matchup

DC used his expert UFC insights to analyze the upcoming highly-anticipated showdown. Chimaev has called out Pereira, but it’s still a mystery whether they’ll step into the octagon. But DC has a hunch about who will come out on top. He feels that ‘Borz’ might have the upper hand, although he had his reservations about one thing.

He said, “I will say this though, I was grabbing Pereira in Las Vegas a couple weeks ago. We share a sponsor, it’s unreal how strong he is. Granted, we’re just playing around. But it’s unbelievable how strong this man is.”

“If this guy learns and understands his takedown defense. Pfft, he would be hell for anyone because he’s such a tremendous kickboxer. So I see why Khamzat says let me fight the champion six and one,” He further added.

But DC thinks that if ‘Poatan’ can learn how to defend take-downs, he’ll be a tough opponent for anyone. In fact, DC remembers trying to grab him and feeling just how strong he is. So, if Alex Pereira adds take-down defense to his already impressive striking skills, it could be a crucial factor in a fight against Chimaev.
