The unbeaten UFC yacht pool with Khamzat Chimaev lost a top name at UFC Saudi -Arabia.
The undefeated run of Shara 'Bullet' Magomedov is no longer after he has lost a unanimous decision on UFC Saudi Aarabia on UFC Saudi Arabia on Saturday. In a tactical version frustrated Page Magomedov with its reach and in time striking, making Magomedov's dangerous Muay Thai on the way to a decisive victory.
It was a stunning performance of page after making the 15 pounds moving to the middleweight for the fan-friendly collision with Magomedov. Despite the decisive victory in his middleweight debut, Page wants to return to 170 pounds to fight for the belt.
Khamzat Chimaev has, just like Page, split time at Welterweight and Middle Weight during his UFC official period. Chimaev has probably been set for a middleweight title shot against the winner of Dricus du Persis vs. Sean Strickland 2, but has kept an eye on the action in Riyad.
After Page's shocking victory, Chimaev took just a few minutes after the official decision was read to congratulate the page with his victory. He nodded at Page's Postfecht interview, in which the former Bellator-Title publisher dropped an iconic film reference.

If Strickland will beat Du Plessis on UFC 312 next weekend, Chimaev is probably on his radar. Strickland warned Chimaev of a potential fight in a pre-PUC 312 JAB during a recent interview.
In recent years, Chimaev has struggled with activity after a record -breaking first year with the promotion in 2020. Despite his inconsistent activity in the Octagon, Chimaev promises to win the middleweight title in 2025, with his recent trend of one fighting booking every 12 months.
Chimaev was a top objective of Israel Adesanya before the astonishing loss of Adesanya in the main event of the UFC Saudi Arabia. Nassourdine Imavov extended the longest MMA of Adesanya who lost Skid by finishing him for only 30 seconds in round 2.
Although Page will probably not return to middleweight quickly, Chimaev respects the page for his victor 185LB debut.
