Khamzat Chimaev vs Belal Muhammad
Khamzat Chimaev is one of the biggest mane in the MMA right now. Khamzat has responded to Belal Muhammad, who offered to fight Khamzat in the octagon. Chimaev has jumped ranks quickly and is now among the top welterweight in the UFC. With only 5 fights in the UFC, he is ranked #3 in the division and has proved why he is a threat to Kamaru Usman for the welterweight title.
Khamzat has a professional record of 11 wins and 0 losses and last fought against Gilbert burns at UFC 273. Khamzat won the fight via a unanimous decision. Chimaev called out top fighters like Conor McGregor in his recent post, but it was Belal who responded to his call out and asked Khamzat to fight him instead.
Khamzat responded to Belal’s callout but placed a condition to fight him next. Belal is born in Chicago, Illinois, but his parents are from Palestinian so, he always carries the Palestinian flag in his all fights. Despite UFC’s strict rules about flags, Belal has never shied away from representing Palestine in the octagon. However, Khamzat Chimaev is very clear about his condition to fight Belal. He said he will only fight Belal if Belal doesn’t bring his Palestinian flag in their fight.
While it is unclear why Khamzat doesn’t want Belal to bring his Palestinian flag. Many suspect this might not be because he is against Palestine and it might be because he hates Belal and does not want him to support Palestine.
“BORZ”- Khamzat Chimaev calls out top MMA fighters for a fight
Khamzat Chimaev has never been shy in his call outs. The 28-year-old fighter elevated to the top of UFC rankings after defeating Gilbert Burns via a unanimous decision and many fans are already predicting his fight against welterweight champion Kamaru Usman. Khamzat Chimaev sits at No. 3 in the welterweight division with only Leon Edwards, Colby Covington, and welterweight champion Kamaru Usman above him.
Khamzat has expressed that he is now looking for a money fight and his recent tweet has proved his hunger to fight the top stars of the UFC. Khamzat shared a fan art of him along with Conor McGregor, Nate Diaz and Jorge Masvidal and it can be viewed as a call out to three fighters.
It is unlikely that any of the three fighters will accept Khamzat’s callout and, with Welterweight champion Kamaru Usman recovering from his injury, Khamzat has little choices for his next fight in the octagon. Kamaru will face Leon Edwards on his return, and Khamzat might have to wait to get a title fight anytime soon.
