Chimaev was one of the most entertaining prospects when he made his debut in the UFC. Since then he has been on a winning streak and has dominated every opponent he has faced. However, Chimaev last fought in the UFC almost a year ago. Borz returns to fight Paulo Costa in his official middleweight debut at UFC 294 in Abu Dhabi. The fight is highly anticipated as the two fighters have a history of trash-talking each other.

After his last weight cut at UFC 279 failed, Chimaev decided to move up to the 185-pound division. The fight is expected to be a barnburner, with both fighters possessing knockout power. Chimaev is a younger and more athletic fighter. He is also the more well-rounded fighter, with a strong wrestling background and a developing striking game. Costa is the more powerful striker, but he has struggled with wrestlers in the past.

The fight is one of the most exciting fights in the division and the winner may also get a shot at the title. Both Chimaev and Costa are exciting fighters with superior mic skills. Fans will look forward to seeing them clash at the press conference.
