Whos gonna fight Chimaev now ? Shavkat Rakhmonov! Grin

Actually Roman Dolidze is not far from Paulo Costa in middleweight rating. And he actually offers Chimaev to fight:

@romandolidzeufc:
Khamzat?⏳
#ufc294

Actually, it is official We could see an Islam Makhachev VS Alexander Volkonovski fight plus Khamzat Chimaev VS Kamaru Usman fight now and the card has become even juicier for sure Paulo Costa's injuries he can not hide anymore that he needs to cancel the fight that could have him a lot of cash-in for sure but yeah because of that injury his opportunity is gone, and I really like to see Paulo Costa defeated and crash by Khamzat Chimaev but that I can not see any more but this fight is also juicy in my opinion I like to see if Chimaev can wrestle Kamaru Usman for sure that was a great sight to behold,

Its said that Usman who will fight against Chimaev. And whoever wins will hve a title shot against Leon.Its gonna be an action pack match, Usman to land a big shot to Khamzat, he will also be over. But definitely fans will be expecting Chimaev to rugdoll Usman.

Costa seem making excuses only according to some articles. Chimaev and Costa been trashing for awhile, fans are hyped and then Costa just got injured while the date gets closer. Too convenient.

For sure the fans want to see Paulo Costa be Smesh by Khamzat Chimaev but that is not happening not as I also believe that Paulo Costa is really just making excuses, and he did this not only with this fight but with Ikram Aliskerov as well for sure I think the UFC will not let him get another big fight again for sure this may be the fall of Paulo Costa in my opinion,

I don't know why Volk still wants to continue the match with only 11 days left. Maybe it would be different if they were in the same class. Moving up to Lightweight is less difficult than cutting weight. But the important point here is that Makachev is an elite wrestler and the weight difference would be a big problem for his opponent.
I was initially very excited about UFC 294 because there were several fights I was looking forward to. But this bad news has buried my spirits. Just disappeared. It's not that the fighter is bad, it's just that what can be expected from a fight with inadequate preparation?

This is Volkanovski we are talking about sure he is not backing a fight for sure and the opportunity to get his rematched this fast is likely what he wants for sure Alexander Volkanovski has done a great job in his fight against Islam Makhachev for sure, he can still feel that he can still done it the question here is Islam Makhachev is not preparing for a Volkanovski fight for sure so it is a question if he really is ready for a rematch or not this is pretty much interesting and I am excited about it,
