Khamzat Chimaev is one of those fighters who made a big name for themselves in 2020. Khamzat made a name for himself by defeating Rhys McKee and John Phillips in just 10 days at UFC Fight Island. After that ‘The Borz’ knocked out Gerald Meerschaert in just 17 seconds at Las Vegas.

‘The Borz’ is now fixed to face the number three ranked contender Leon Edwards in his next fight and the win against Edwards can be a big blow to his carrier. Edwards has also made up his mind that he will show Khamzat what it feels like facing such a high ranked opponent inside the Octagon.

The UFC light heavyweight fighter Jiri Prochazka who is on an 11 fight win streak also thinks the same about Khamzat. Jiri has been training with him and he thinks ‘he’s nothing special’. He says “Chimaev has ‘good wrestling’ and ‘good cardio’ but he fails to see what all the hype is about surrounding Khamzat.

Prochazka is being booked to face Dominick Reyes next in February 2021 and Khamzat will face Leon Edwards in December, only time will tell ‘The Borz’ will emerge victorious against Edwards or not.

According to the latest updated rankings of UFC Khamzat Chimaev officially entered the UFC’s welterweight rankings. Swedish MMA journalist Ashah Tafari tweeted a picture of the UFC’s updated rankings showing ‘The Borz’ ranked 15th in the Welterweight rankings.

Nate Diaz hasn’t competed in Welterweight over the past few years and Rafael Dos Anjos made his comeback in the Lightweight division with a win over Paul Felder. That’s why Nate Diaz and Rafael Dos Anjos both are removed from the UFC’s top 15 welterweight ranking.

Now ‘The Borz’ will look forward to push his rank further with a win against Leon Edwards.
