On the night of Sunday, August 17 at the UFC 319 tournament in Chicago, Khamzat Chimaev will be drawn with Drikus Du Plessis for a medium -weight championship belt. For five years, Borz was going to the title of Borz, having overcome eight rivals in the way, and in six cases it was possible to win ahead of schedule. The most rapid victory was recorded in a duel with American Gerald Michert.

Hamzatu needed only two blows and 17 seconds!

“Destroy everyone”

Hamzat Chimaev debuted in UFC on July 16, 2020 by an early victory over Wales fighter John Phillips. In just nine days, the wolf cut down another representative of the United Kingdom – McCa rice. Both fights took place in Abu Dhabi, and on September 19, 2020, a native of Russia was to debut in the United States-in Las Vegas, the UFC Fight Night tournament was held, the main characters of which were declared Co-Cowington and Tyrone Woodley.

Jerald Mirshers, who had managed to win 31 victories in MMA by the age of 32, though he managed to lose 13 times to lose. The American approached the duel with two defeats in the last three confrontations, but sincerely believed that in the case of Hamzat, he would be able to succeed.

A fighter from the United States carefully thought about how to neutralize the strengths of the opponent in the struggle, counted on a long confrontation. Borz, who had previously expressed himself directly about title ambitions, simply intended to deal with another obstacle to his belt.

– I am UFC. And I’m going to destroy everyone! – Chimaev wrote on social networks on the eve of the fight.

Skills in the stroke

Chimaev had local tasks in Chimaev. Hamzat was already criticized then that he was excessively focused on the fight, so in the next confrontation the fighter intended to demonstrate skills in the stroke. It should be noted that he did it perfectly.

After greeting, Khamzat attacked the American front-up. This blow was not particularly dangerous for the opponent, but Chimaev’s intentions became understandable, Mirshert began to back away. At the grid, Borz again decided to hit, this time from the right to the jaw. And Gerald could not stand this meeting with the fist of the Russian, who spoke under the flag of Sweden.

Chimaev rushed to finish the American settled on the flooring, but there was no sense in this – besides, the referee intervened, who correctly assessed the situation. Only 17 seconds have passed since the beginning of the duel, so in theory, Hamzat could again go to the octagon at the next tournament, but the fans had to wait for the wolf’s return for more than a year.
