The entire world will tune in to watch the rising superstar take on his toughest challenge yet in his UFC career. The fight is set to take place at the VyStar Veterans Memorial Arena in Jacksonville, Florida.
After successfully making weight for his welterweight fight, Chimaev is ready to go into the octagon and get another finish for his record. The fighter talks to UFC broadcaster, Megan Olivi ahead of the fight and gives his predictions for his fight. “Nice energy here. Gonna go and take over now,” said Chimaev talking about being the fan favorite in this fight.
“I don’t think he has the energy for this fight. I don’t think so. He lost his energy for the fight. In the hotel I saw the guy many times, he doesn’t want to fight.” Chimaev is currently 10-0 in his career and has finished all his fights. Beating Gilbert would make Khamzat enter the conversation for the next title shot.
