Undefeated welterweight contender, Khamzat Chimaev has called for a fight with former undisputed UFC welterweight champion, Kamaru Usman – vowing to “squeeze” the head from the Auchi native.
Chimaev, who dropped from the #3 rank in the official welterweight pile off the back of Belal Muhammad’s one-sided unanimous decision win over Gilbert Burns at UFC 288 earlier this month, has yet to return to the Octagon since headlining UFC 279 back in September of last year.
Improving to 12-0 as a professional against short-notice opponent, Kevin Holland, the Chechen-born contender latched onto a stunning opening round D’Arce choke submission victory against the striker.
