The welterweight division at UFC is currently dominated by Kamaru Usman. However, there are many great fighters who can give him an extremely tough competition. Khamzat Chimaev is one such fighter. However, he needs to fight some big opponents before he gets the title fight against ‘The Nigerian Nightmare’. Hence, a matchup with Gilbert Burns would be great for him. UFC President Dana White has previously said that no one is up for fighting Chimaev. But it seems like Burns is ready to take on the Russian-born fighter. Both Chimaev and Burns have agreed on Twitter for a bout. If this bout took place, it would push ‘Borz’ to his limits. Chimaev’s previous dominant wins show how skilled he is. As a result, several UFC fans think that testing his abilities against a higher-ranked fighter will either kill his hype train or prove his skills to the world. In one of his latest tweets, Burns revealed that the USADA visited him. As a result, he expects to receive a fight contract soon. He wrote [https://twitter.com/GilbertDurinho/status/1484710325786193922?s=20], “Usada came to the house at night this time! 🤔 I hope the contract is on way”.

Welterweight Gilbert Burns reveals that the USADA visited him. Thus, he expects
to soon receive a fight contract. Here's amore about it!

Rohini Kottu is a UFC Writer at EssentiallySports. She is also a Psychologist
and has a Master's degree in Clinical Psychology. Rohini, in her role as a UFC
writer, combines her admiration for the mental resilience that MMA fighters have
and her love for analysis. She has been following UFC since 2020 and very often
contemplates the psyche of fighters while they are in action and wonders what
kind of mental preparation goes into it. This is reflected in her copies about
the sport. Ironically, being a Nate Diaz fan, she can't watch a ton of blood
being spilt in the octagon. In her free time, she likes to write poetry or read
novels.

He is also one of the strongest welterweights on the planet. Besides that, very few people can match his pace of fighting. Usman's chain wrestling style is nearly unstoppable.

The first two years of his life are filled with scarcity as war tormented the hell out of their small village. Chimaev rarely remembers anything about that time but according to him it was dreadful, <em>"But after [the war], you see the buildings down. I remember a lot of cars and military coming to my house, checking my house. At that time, it was normal to us. You see these things every day and it's normal, if you're a kid. I [eventually came to] understand it was war only in my country."</em>

He remembers that his mother used to eat whatever the kids left after their supper, <em>" [My mother thought] always about us," Chimaev says. "When you are young, you don't understand why she would give food to us and then [be] waiting for us. We finish the food and the things we left, she eats [only] this. Now, when I become older, I understand what she did."</em>

Born on May 1, 1994, in Chechnya, Chimaev quickly made his name a synonym to the promotion with his dominant fighting skills. Starting his UFC journey by fighting in the welterweight division, &#8216;Borz&#8217; jumped the division to fight at the middleweights. He is known for his aggressive wrestling and submission prowess, the fighter is nicknamed &#8216;Borz&#8217; which means wolf in Russian. Khamzat Chimaevâ€™s Early Life Born on the outskirts of the village of Gvardeyskoye, Khamzat Chimaev was a child of war. His village was a part of the Chechen Republic of Ichkeria but after the war, it became a part of Russia&#8217;s Chechnya. As his family was celebrating the birth of their son, a war was brewing near their borders. Months after Chimaev&#8217;s birth, the First Chechen War began. The first two years of his life are filled with scarcity as war tormented the hell out of their small village. Chimaev rarely remembers anything about that time but according to him it was dreadful, &#8220;But after [the war], you see the buildings down. I remember a lot of cars and military coming to my house, checking my house. At that time, it was normal to us. You see these things every day and it&#8217;s normal, if you&#8217;re a kid. I [eventually came to] understand it was war only in my country.&#8221; Chimaev grew up in a household of deficiency as they were three brothers and two sisters. His father used to work outside of Chechnya due to obvious reasons. He remembers that his mother used to eat whatever the kids left after their supper, &#8221; [My mother thought] always about us,&#8221; Chimaev says. &#8220;When you are young, you don&#8217;t understand why she would give food to us and then [be] waiting for us. We finish the food and the things we left, she eats [only] this. Now, when I become older, I understand what she did.&#8221; Khamzat Chimaev and his family moved to Sweden when his older brother Artur moved to Sweden to seek medical treatment for torn ligaments in his shoulder he sustained in wrestling. Artur called upon his family to leave the wartorn place and be in Sweden for better opportunities. Khamzat Chimaevâ€™s Wife and Children Khamzat Chimaev is a very private individual who prefers to keep his personal life out of the spotlight.

If we were to consider everything then the fighter might be worth somewhere around $3 million-$4 million. Khamzat Chimaevâ€™s Career Timeline &#8216;Borz&#8217; made his smacking Octagon debut against John Phillips at UFC Fight Island 1. Khamzat Chimaev&#8217;s UFC career started with a second-round win that saw him grab the Performance of the Night bonus.Â Afterward, he took a fight on short notice and became a viral sensation and one of the best talents to come out from the initial Fight Island cards.

Subsequently, the Russian-born MMA star set a record for one of the fastest turnarounds and fought three times in a span of fewer than 70 days. He defeated Rhys McKee and Gerald Meerschaert in his next two Octagon appearances.Â The viral sensation became a threat in both the welterweight and middleweight divisions after his spectacular performances. The UFC and Dana White were so high about him that they booked him against welterweight contender Leon Edwards. However, as Chimaev faced some medical issues, he did not compete for around a year. After a long layoff, Chimaev returned to the octagon against the #11 ranked UFC welterweight contender Li Jingliang. Khamzat Chimaev vs Li Jingliang took place on October 30, 2021, at UFC 267. &#8216;Borz&#8217; put on a definitive performance and stamped his return with yet another first-round finish. After getting past &#8216;The Leech&#8217;, it was time for a challenge for Chimaev as he faced Gilbert Burns UFC 273. The duo showcased tremendous fighting prowess but at the end of the day, it was &#8216;Borz&#8217; whose hands were raised.
