Media Official poster for UFC Saudi Arabia: Khamzat Chimaev vs Robert Whittaker

[Takes_Two_To_Tango]

This is the fight I'm looking forward to the most. Can't wait!

Rob will murder Khamzat if he's still on top of his game. Obviously he has a lot of mileage so it's not guaranteed, but 2019 Whittaker would murk Khamzat with ease.

here come the excuses already. just let these 2 fight without this bullshit. robert might not be in the best period of his prime, but he is still very very game. he has beaten everybody who is not a world champion and won quite easily against Costa, who definately is in his prime. let the best man win. if it's robert, than very good job for taking on a upcoming undefeated fighter.

if it's khamzat, it is not because robert is over the hill. lame bs excuses ahead of a fight are wortless

Needs more birds.

I got you.

Damn shame they don't bring out posters that have any thought put into them:-(

even if he wins the UFC isnt giving him a title shot. him being barred from entering the US does have an effect on his career. i do not see him ever being champ as long as that is an issue...

I know they had previously stated they were working with or to get a Saudi based visa but after reading this article (most recent I think) and what happened with Tyson Fury and relatives. Not looking very good at all.

Report: UFC star Khamzat Chimaev still can’t enter U.S. because of Ramzan Kadyrov connection

Journalist Karim Zidan has confirmed that Chimaev’s issues entering America are on account of his close relationship with the sanctioned leader.

Someone correct me if there is more recent info.

Such a shame. Ah well strange bedfellows and all that....



Chimaev recently emigrated to Dubai, and also just received a 10-year visa from Abu Dhabi. Nascimento said he hoped some sort of arrangement could be coming where Khamzat might travel on some sort of United Arab Emirates travel document.

Contender in exile: Chimaev can’t enter U.S. after UFC 294 to claim title

"Borz" earned a title shot against Sean Strickland with his UFC 294 win over Kamaru Usman. But, collecting on it may be tricky for the Chechen fighter.
