Khamzat Chimaev has made quite an impression on former UFC champion Daniel Cormier.
Chimaev is surgingat a rapid rate. Aftereasily winning his first two UFC fights with just 10 days apart, the Chechen-Swedish prospect knocked out veteran Gerald Meerschaert in just 17 seconds at UFC Vegas 11.
Chimaev has a perfect 9-0 record in MMA. Six of those wins came via knockout and three came by way of submission.
During the DC & Helwani Show, Daniel Cormier made a surprising prediction for Chimaevβs future:
βBy 2021, Khamzat Chimaev is fighting for the belt or is the champ. In 2021, Khamzat Chimaev is the double champ. 170 and 185β¦ He goes up and down. He can fight everybody.β
