According to an icon, Khamzat Chimaev could have major problems with a surprising MMA star.
On August 16, 'Borz' Drus Du Plessis dominated the middleweight world title on UFC 319, in the United Center in Chicago, Illinois, USA.
The attention quickly switched to who the grappler could be confronted, where Islam Makhachev was asked about a confrontation with Chimaev, while others want to see the Swedish-Russian on Nassourdine Imavov.
However, a former title Challenger believes that there is another competitor who would give the champion his toughest test.

Chael Sonnen says that Bo Nickal Khamzat would cause Chimaev –
Chael Sonnen believes that Bo Nickal Khamzat Chimaev would give a run for his money.
Although he is not arranged in the top fifteen and has suffered a loss in his last outing, 'The American Gangster' still thinks that his countryman has the opportunity to be a nightmare for the 185-pound King.
In a video that was uploaded to his YouTube channel, Sonen said: “One thing that Khamzat Chimaev is not prepared for is a man who can get up from the bottom, a BO -Nickal.
“I know this will disturb some of you, but I just share with you, if you can get BO down, you won't keep it there, and there is no situation in which he goes to his back.”
Khamzat Chimaev Rival believes that his 'unique' skills 'Borz' would cause problems
Regardless of whether Nickal Chimaev could test or not, it is unlikely that the American will soon receive a chance of the throne.
However, there are other hunters who would like to get hold of the pound-for-pound number four.
One middleweight says that his 'unique' skills would bother Chimaev.
