Khamzat Chimaev is a beast when it comes to a fight. The UFC welterweight is undefeated and with nothing but dominant victories over his opponents. However, he is not alone in the division with an undefeated record. Shavkat Rakhmonov is also undefeated in MMA with a record of 16-0. Rakhmonov recently took to Twitter to give a hilarious response to a fighter from Khabib Nurmagomedov‘s Eagle FC. The fighters look to do the unthinkable and stop the hype train of Khamzat Chimaev in a rather hilarious exchange.

Everyone wants a piece of Khamzat Chimaev

Rakhmonov is undefeated in the UFC octagon and is going for the win even in his online battles. The UFC welterweight replied to Nurmagomedov‘s Eagle FC’s Kevin Lee on Twitter. Lee made a bold choice and called out ‘Borz’ Khamzat Chimaev.

The Eagle FC fighter said, “All I’m saying is I’m willing. Don’t act like everybody scared of the man.” The callout itself wasn’t convincing, and the Kazakh was having none of it.

Rakhmonov didn’t want to stay away from the action and chipped in with a banter. The UFC welterweight chipped in with one of the phrases used for Kevin Lee. The ‘Nomad’ said, “Where do I fit into this?”

But where does Chimaev fit into the UFC in 2023?

The Swedish fighter cannot catch a breath when it comes to beef with the fighters or reactions from the fans. The fans are always eager to see ‘Borz’ in action when it comes to fighting inside the octagon.

The dominant performances given by the Chimaev are just a small testament to what is to come, according to UFC fans. Thus, a question begs to be asked: where will the fans see ‘Borz’ fight in the coming year?

Chimaev has been fighting in the welterweight division and is ranked #3 as of 31st December 2022. However, the Russian-born Swedish fighter is biting his lips for a shot at the middleweight title, too.

Although a fight with Colby Covington is anticipated, it will not be a far-fetched idea to see Chimaev in the middleweight division. A fight for UFC gold in the welterweight division seemed to be the immediate goal for ‘Borz’.

A fight and subsequent win against ‘Chaos’ will most likely give him the opportunity. Moreover, a matchup against fell0w undefeated fighter, Shavkat Rakhmonov, will also bear suitable outcomes if he comes out with a win.
