Michael Bisping talks about Khamzat Chimaev

Michael Bisping just cannot stop praising Khamzat Chimaev. The former UFC champion is excited for the “Borz” next fight just as much as all the fans are.

Khamzat Chimaev has taken over the UFC by a storm and has gained a massive fan following ever since his debut. The fighter has even managed to earn a fan in the former middleweight champion, now commentator, Michael Bisping. Chimaev is nothing short of a spectacle to watch. He has gone out and dominated and walked through every opponent put in front of him.

Things might get a little more exciting for the fans in 2022 as we get to watch the “Borz” against some of the perennial contenders in UFC. Bisping just can’t wait to watch him fight. “Unforgettable display of dominance and that’s what he’s shown every single time inside the octagon. Khamzat Chimaev is the real deal and doesn’t seem to have weak areas. Excited to see where he’s going to go,” said Bisping.

In a recent back and forth on social media, both Khamzat and Burns have come to an agreement to fight on April 9 in the pay-per-view event. The Brazilian is coming off a win against Stephen Thompson to bounce back from his title fight loss against the champion Kamaru Usman. Meanwhile, Chimaev is coming off a stunning victory against the ranked Li JingLiang at UFC 267.

Bisping breaks down the potential fight stylistically. The Englishman believes it will suit best if the rising star does not try to take down the Brazilian. Gilbert Burns is known as one of the greatest grapplers in the world. He is a former Jiu-Jitsu champion and has always found success in the ground against his opponents.

Khamzat, on the other hand, is predominantly a wrestler despite his huge one-punch KO blows. Michael leans towards Khamzat for his prediction as he believes the fight will happen on his feet. According to Michael, Chimaev is the better of the two top welterweights. What do you think about Michael Bisping’s prediction?
