The hype around Khamzat Shimaev doesn't stop growing. If in the first season of 'Ilha da Luta', the Swede stole the show, performing twice in ten days, now that he has obtained a visa to fight in the United States, the tendency is for him to be even more talked about.

The athlete, who has an appointment scheduled for Gerald meerschaert, on September 19, in Las Vegas, was also booked to face Demian Maia, in Abu Dhabi, in October, and wants more. On his Twitter, the Swede took advantage of the fact that Nick Diaz consider returning to MMA to challenge his bad boy brothers and he has no doubt that he would win.

“Inshallah. If I defeat my next opponent, please Dana White, can I fight Demian Maia, Nate and Nick Diaz the same night or every week. It’s the easiest money in the welterweight division,” Khamzat posted.

Khamzat Shimaev, 26 years old, is undefeated in the sport and his eight victories were all via the fast track, five by knockout and three by submission. 'Borz' debuted in the UFC on July 15th, when he shined against John Phillips, and, on the 25th, he returned to the octagon against rhys mckee and impressed even more by knocking him out in the first round without receiving a single blow. This hunger for fighting makes Chimaev, who alternates fights between welterweight (77,6kg) and middleweight (83,9kg), the main candidate for the Newcomer of the Year award at the MMA Oscars.
