Caio Borralho thinks he has the instruments to dethrone Khamzat Chimaev.
‘Borz’ placed on one of the most dominant displays in UFC title fight history in Chicago, securing a decisive resolution victory over Reinier de Ridder to turn out to be the promotion’s new undisputed middleweight world champion.
Since then, potential contenders have been lining up, believing they’ve what it takes to resolve the puzzle and hand Chimaev his first-ever loss. That features Borralho, who made it clear that if the UFC needs to ebook him for a title struggle in October, he’ll gladly bail on his scheduled scrap at UFC Paris a month earlier.
“I’m very respectful for Khamzat,” Borralho instructed MMA Junkie. “He’s like a brother for me. However presently, at this level, on this stage of the competitors, it’s me and him, you realize.
“If the UFC involves me proper now and says, ‘Overlook him. Go put together to struggle Khamzat in October,’ I’m prepared. If the UFC provide me this, I’ll say sure immediately. See what occurs. I don’t take care of this man. Let him wait.”
Caio Borralho Nonetheless Has to undergo middleweight’s No. 1 contender if he needs to struggle Chimaev
The fighter Borralho doesn’t “take care of” simply occurs to be the present top-ranked middleweight contender, Nassourdine Imavov. The 2 are scheduled to scrap in ‘The City of Light’ on September 6, with the winner doubtless rising as Chimaev’s first challenger.
In fact, if Chimaev decides to make a fast turnaround and struggle in October when the UFC heads again to Abu Dhabi, Borralho or Imavov might get the decision. However contemplating ‘Borz’ barely averages one struggle per 12 months today, we wouldn’t wager cash on that taking place.
