Khamzat Chimaev is now only a few weeks away from finally fighting for a UFC title when he takes on Drus Du Plessis in the UFC 319 Main Event.
When Khamzat Chimaev was bursting in the UFC in the UFC for the first time in 2020, it seemed inevitable that 'Borz' would compete for at least one UFC title.
Nevertheless, the Chechense career began to block when he continued to come across various health complications and at one point even briefly retired because of his constant worries.
Fortunately, Chimaev returned to UFC 308 last October and earned a title shot against Dricus du Plessis when he crushed Robert Whittaker's jaw.

Former champion predicts Du Plessis vs Chimaev
During his relatively short term of office in the best promotion, Chimaev was involved in different quarrels with many different hunters.
One is Kevin Holland after the two backstage clashed prior to their respective fights on UFC 279, which causes a catastrophe from Fight Week.
More recently, however, Chimaev has fueled a feud with the former Welterweight Belal Muhammad Champion, who may tried to set up a title fight before he made a permanent movement until 185 pounds.
And despite the harsh words of Chimaev to Belal Muhammad in the past, 'Remember the Name' has offered a prediction for the Main Event of UFC 319, and claims too many people count 'Borz'.
“To be honest, I think too many people count the Cardio of Chimaev. I think Khabib (Nurmagomedov) said the best when he gets up and strikes him, I think he will do well,” said Mohammed in a video on his YouTube channel.
“(Du Plessis) has an uncomfortable style, but he is hit a lot and he breaks a lot of boys with fatigue. If Chimaev does not come out super hard in the first round to bring it down and use all his energy, I think it will be okay if he just keeps it.
“And then perhaps a bit to wear on him, but you don't want to go out for the murder in that first round and eventually burn yourself for four rounds … but I got Chimaev, he is much sharper on the feet and certainly sharper on the floor,” Muhammad continued.
Khabib offers Chimaev some healthy advice prior to title fight
Although Chimaev is generally considered one of the most dominant wrestlers in the UFC history, he has problems with his cardio so far during his term of office.
And with that former UFC star Khabib Nurmagomedov Chimaev gave some sound advice prior to his title fight, which suggests that 'Borz' is used striking lake in this matchup.
