He also says he asked the UFC for a 5 round fight, however there's 2 title fights also on the card so it may be a 3 round fight.
 
UFC 273 is in the US.

All of Chimaev's fights at welterweight have taken place in the Middle East, where whoever is promoting the fight essentially performs the role of the athletic commission as well. In the video below, the scale has to be "fixed" to balance at 171 lbs for Chimaev.



Whenever Chimaev fought in Sweden, India, or the US, it had to be at middleweight or catchweight.

Beat me to it. There's a reason the fight hasn't been signed yet.

Dana probably wants it in Abu Dhabi, and Ali, knowing the reason, is probably telling him to fuck off. Khamzat has a problem if this is the case. Ali manages the champ and three of the top five contenders.

Khamzat is Dana's new toy. Lol If anyone has a problem right now it's Ali.

can't take " The Schmo seriously"

I wish fighters wouldn't interview with him
 
UFC 273 is during Ramadan. Would Khamzat fight during Ramadan?
Its obvious he will. I worked at a restaurant with owners and staff that observed Ramadan. Im certainly no expert on it but it looked as though all they did was not eat until sundown. Seems like one could deal with that without much change in ones routine?
 
He must be watching the DarrenTill videos of Kham being an absolute savage right now and in great shape.

He figures, shit, I better get in shape!
 
Ukraine situation definitely won't help the Visa issue
 
So it's safe to say burns is going to fight someone else in April, knew this wasn't real fight.

Interesting
 
I'm sure Chimaev is as good as they say, but why is it such an ordeal getting him to sign on to fight?

If this dude is such a bad man why is he picking on WW's and killing himself to make WW?? Where's the criticism from Sherdog weight watchers??

I have no problem with it because if you can make the weight you can fight but a lot of sherdoggers hate weight bullies. This dude is barely making 170 and is 6'2..
