Moments after watching the victory of Khamzat Shimaev No. UFC 294, Dana White fulfilled his promise and confirmed that he will negotiate a title fight with the executioner of Kamaru Usman. In a press conference after the event, the president of Ultimate guaranteed 'Bicho-Papão' as a challenger for the middleweight title (under 83,9kg). Possible hand injury, however, could be an obstacle.

“I hope there are no problems, that your hand is not broken. I hope we can fight for the title,” said White.

No UFC 294, Chimaev stepped into the octagon for his first engagement as an official middleweight representative. With an opponent selected at the last minute to replace the injured player Paulo borrachinha, the representative of the United Arab Emirates had a solid performance and beat Usman in the majority decision of the judges.

As a result, Khamzat should earn the chance to face the champion Sean Strickland. In addition to this feat, the fighter also extended his unbeaten record in professional MMA, now adding 13 consecutive victories.
