The best thing about the UFC is the violence it shows us, and the excitement it produces. The upcoming Swedish welterweight, Khamzat Chimaev, has all the best things about the promotion, combined in one. He is extremely entertaining, bloodthirsty, violent, and also very talented. 

Chimaev’s recent performances have taken the world by storm. The Swedish fighter is currently on a 10 fight win streak in his professional career. He is one of the most entertaining fighters because all of his victories have been via knockout or submission. He has six wins by knockout and four via submission. 

His recent fight against Li Jingliang has left the world hungry to see him back in the octagon. Chimaev completely dominated the Chinese fighter. In the first round of the fight, Chimaev grabbed Jingliang and carried him all the way to where Dana White was sitting, slammed him down, and told White he wants to fight Brock Lesnar.

Recently, “The Borz” took to his Twitter handle to call out Lesnar on his own. 

Even though Khamzat is a welterweight fighter who has also competed in middleweight, he is very confident about taking on Lesnar. Not only is Lesnar a deadly heavyweight, but he is also a former UFC heavyweight champion.

This matchup is extremely unlikely to ever take place. Brock Lesnar last appeared in the octagon at UFC 200, which was over five years ago. Lesnar won the fight, but it was later ruled a no-contest because he tested positive for clomiphene.

What’s next for Khamzat Chimaev?

After his back-to-back dominant wins at the UFC, we can expect his next fight to be against a fighter who is higher up in the rankings. After his win over Li Jingliang, Khamzat called out Nate Diaz in his post-fight presser. Dana White seemed to like the idea of it, but Nate denied the fight.

Neil Magny is a very possible opponent for Khamzat for his next fight. The two even had a back and forth on social media. The fight makes sense because Magny is higher up in the rankings and is also ready for the challenge against Chimaev.

Colby Covington also recently said he would take on Chimaev, but we could see that taking place only if Khamzat wins his next fight.
