A UFC heavyweight competition wants some respect to his name.
Middleweight Bogeyman Khamzat Chimaev has been the UFC world's conversation this week while the undefeated hunter enters his first title fight.
Chimaev wants to improve until 15-0 against Champion Drus Du Plessis in the UFC 319 Main Event from Chicago, Illinois. Chimaev is one of the most dreaded title challengers in recent memory.
Not too far from the title conflicts themselves is the Jilton Almeida van Brazil.
The #5-ranking UFC Heavyweight Competer was not received the following title option against Tom Aspinall, despite an 8-1 point in the Octagon. Instead, Aspinall Ciryl meets Gane on UFC 321 and Almeida takes on Alexander Volkov on the Undercard.
Although he is not unbeaten like Chimaev, Almeida believes that he is still better than his middleweight opposite.

Khamzat Chimaev could be one of the few unbeaten UFC champions
Chimaev gets into the Octagon on UFC 319 on 14-0.
There is a 25-field combined win-streak between Du Plessis and Chimaev and a line will end.
If Chimaev 15-0 reaches a middleweight title profit, he will join Ilia Topuria and Khabib Nurmagomedov as unbeaten champions that have never lost.
Other hunters who recorded the title while they were unbeaten are Israel Adesanya, Ronda Rousey, Cain Velasquez, Lyoto Machida and Chris Weidman.
