Khamzat Chimaev is eager for a new fight in the UFC. Coming off a loss to Sean Strickland at UFC 328 in May, 'The Wolf' is still looking to reclaim the middleweight title (up to 83,9 kg) and has taken to social media to demand a decision on his next fight, as well as to get Dana White's attention.
In a post on 'X', Khamzat Chimaev expressed impatience with the lack of news about his return to the octagon. The fighter questioned what was being awaited to define his next fight and directed the message directly to the UFC president, making it clear that he wants to fight again as soon as possible.
What are we waiting for?

Despite the setback, the uncertainty in the middleweight division (up to 83,9 kg) combined with Lobo's media power could guarantee Chimaev an immediate rematch. Conversely, Nassourdine Imavov recently stated that the UFC has guaranteed him the position of number one contender in the division.
