Amid speculation of a verbal agreement to fight Gilbert Durinho, Khamzat Shimaev decided to concentrate the attacks on another athlete in the welterweight division (up to 77kg.).

“He said maybe I will fight him in the future. But with this level of performance, brother? Are you sure? Your level is weak. If Belal (Muhammad) could hold you, I can knock you down and finish you off. I don't know these guys, but I have ten fights and ten wins on the fast track. I didn't waste a single second. I’m going after them,” Chimaev said.
Pointed out by many as one of the main sensations in Ultimate today, Khamzat is 11th in the ranking led by Kamaru Usman and now he can face the Brazilian Gilbert Durinho in April.
The Swede went through a drama due to complications due to COVID-19 and announced his retirement, but came back after dominating and submitting li jingliang in the first round. A professional since 2018, Chimaev has a 'perfect record' of ten wins in ten fights, six by knockout and four by submission.
