Khamzat Chimaev doesn’t care about belts.
After ragdolling opponents en path to an unblemished 14-0 report, ‘Borz’ will look to climb to the highest of the middleweight mountain when he challenges the division’s reigning champion, Dricus du Plessis, at UFC 319 on Saturday, August 16.
Will probably be Chimaev’s inaugural shot at UFC gold, but when issues go in keeping with plan, it gained’t be his final. However even along with his lofty objectives of turning into the promotion’s first-ever three-division champion, ‘Borz’ made it clear that he’s not combating for titles and accolades. It’s all in regards to the benjamins.
“I don’t assume a lot in regards to the belt,” Chimaev informed MMA Junkie. “Has a few thousands and thousands coming after the struggle in my checking account. That’s the necessary factor. I need to struggle, beat that man, . That’s necessary to me.”
Khamzat Chimaev goals for a fast turnaround after UFC 319
If Chimaev comes out each unscathed and with the middleweight title in his place, he plans on making fast turnaround, doubtlessly defending his title or competing for one more one at UFC 321 in Abu Dhabi in October.
“I want cash bro. This isn’t sufficient, simply to go for the one title,” Chimaev informed ESPN MMA. “Hopefully if I don’t get injured or some stuff, gonna defend the belt or struggle for different belt in Abu Dhabi, as nicely.”
Contemplating ‘Borz’ has struggled to struggle greater than every year since 2022, we wouldn’t depend on him making such a fast turnaround, however as they are saying in MMA, something is feasible.
