UFC welterweight star Khamzat ‘Borz’ Chimaev took to social media this week to tell his fans that he is struggling to book a fight as no one wants to fight him. Borz said the UFC spoke to four different opponents from four different countries but all of those fights fell through.
Chimaev fought last in Sep 2022 at UFC 279 when he caused a fiasco by missing weight by 7 lbs. His fight with Nate Diaz fell through and he ended up fighting Kevin Holland. Borz ended up winning that easily in the first round. Chimaev’s head coach maintains that he can still make welterweight or move up a weight class and fight the UFC middleweight champion next.
UFC Fighters Don’t Believe Chimaev
Paulo Costa who fights at middleweight and Belal Muhammed took to social media to call out Chimaev and his bogus claims. Costa has said in the past that he is ready to fight Borz but at the moment Costa is having problems with his UFC contract as he wants to be paid more.
Belal Muhammed is ready to fight Borz at welterweight but he isn’t sure if Borz will agree to the fight and make the weight! We will have to wait till Jan 2023 to see who Borz faces next as the UFC is on holiday mode for the next couple of weeks!
