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.
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?
