Last Saturday (9), Khamzat Shimaev went through his biggest fire test to date and managed to overcome Gilbert Durinho by points, in a duel that took place in UFC 273. However, anyone who thinks that the Swede will take a rest period and then think about his next move is mistaken.

Active on his social networks, Chimaev revealed that he was ready and opened a range of options. Third in the ranking, the fighter listed the names of Colby covington e Leon edwards, in addition to the welterweight champion (up to 77kg.) Kamaru Usman as your next career targets.

“Who’s the next Usman, Covington, Edwards? Who is ready?” wrote Chimaev on his official account on 'Twitter'.

Coincidentally, UFC president Dana White has already declared that Chimaev would face Covington if he managed to get past Durinho. With the victory, the Swede can face the former interim champion towards the division belt. He is undefeated in 11 fights.

Usman and Edwards could face each other in the first half of 2022. The champion is still recovering from a hand injury, while the Englishman awaits his opportunity for the organization's title.
