One of the biggest fights that the UFC could do this year could be determined after Khamzat Chimaev Fans Wild sent online with a teasing mail.
After the victory of Khamzat Chimaev over Robert Whittaker at UFC 308 last October, it became clear that he would probably fight for the middleweight title in his next fight.
UFC Middenweight Champion, Dricus du Plessis, then defended his title for the second time when he defeated Sean Strickland on UFC 312 in a controversial title fight.
After 'Still Knocks' defended the title, fans began to call again to get his next fight against Chimaev, where it was one of the most desired fights in 2025.

Khamzat Chimaev sends fans wild with post of two words
With 'Borz' undoubtedly the next in line, rumors have recently been spread that the UFC is looking for compiling the title fight of the middle weight for the UFC 317 of the International Fight Week on 28 June.
The promotion returned to Miami for UFC 314 last Saturday and after the event UFC boss Dana White shed through in Du Plessis vs Chimaev who possibly the headlining of UFC 317 when he was asked about that fight.
“Yes, (we are quite close to the announcement of the UFC 317 Main Event). That would be nice (to have Chimaev in the main event). Tuesday,” said White in the press conference after the fight, pointing to an approaching announcement.
Only a few days later the Chechen Jager UFC fans sent wild with an update post of two words, which may be teasing that his fight against Du Plessis has been signed after the comments from White.
“Good news,” Chimaev said in a message on X.
There were earlier concerns about Chimaev's ability to reach a visa to fight in the United States, but since Donald Trump has been re -elected, it is no longer seen as a potential issue.
“DDP vs Khamzat International Fight Week confirmed,” a fan noted.
“The date has been set for the implementation of DDP,” another fan responded.
“Who do you fight with? Do you have a passport? Visa?” A third fan questioned.
“You go against a brick wall. DDP runs over you,” another fan predicted the potential fight.
Despite the incredibly dominant run of Chimaev, many hunters and analysts du Plessis support Chimaev to act his first loss.
Dricus du Plessis vs Khamzat Chimaev will become an incredible structure
Since he became UFC 185LB champion, the South African has given more and more respect for every outing, despite its extremely unorthodox fighting style.
A way in which he has won even more fans is with his antics on the microphone on press conferences and during media interviews.
The garbage conversation of Du Plessis is branded as one of the best in sport, so that both Sean Strickland and Israel Adesanya cried during their combat structure.
With him and Chimaev who have already shared words online, the structure of their potential fight is completely tempting, ending with what also promises to be an incredibly intriguing fight.
