Feared Chechen sensation fires warning to UFC rivals

Khamzat Chimaev says no one is safe across two weight classes amid his pursuit of gold

Khamzat Chimaev has yet to find his equal in the UFC cage and appears to have extended out challenges to fighters in two separate weight classes as the Chechen-born star plots his next move in his bid to become a world champion. 

Chimaev recently made light work of American fighter Kevin Holland in a hastily arranged fight as a result of him dramatically missing weight ahead of a proposed welterweight main event with UFC icon Nate Diaz earlier this month.

However, his error on the weighing scales has led to speculation that Chimaev’s time in the welterweight division might be coming to an end if he continues to struggle to make 170lbs weight limit.

Chimaev, though, has significant experience at middleweight, and even made his debut for the UFC in the 185lbs ranks against Welsh brawler John Phillips in Abu Dhabi a couple of summers ago – and judging by his latest blast on social media, it is a division he feels very much at home in.
