How many fights will Khamzat have next year? (2026)

[Hitdepruns]

0.5

 

[KO Shotz]

I believe 2.

Khamzat vs Imavov will be happening next in January possibly to kick off the paramount deal.

I don´t know what Poatan fans have been smoking thinking there boy is actully a bigger star then Chimaev, brah could be fighitng 10 times a year he would not touch Khamzat Chimaev worldwide.

Get outta here kids, Never wanna see stupid shxt like ´´´Pereira bigger star ever again´´ and the gap is just gonna grow bigger from here on out as Pereira is on his way out and Chimaev is even gonna go further up

Hoping they try to stack the Paramount debut and put him on there with Topuria. He's getting challengers banking up so if we could get one defense in January another should be possible by mid-year. Would hate to see an active bloke like RDR shelved for a year waiting for a shot he's earned

In my opinion the Middleweight division is on hold for at least a year.

I picked 1 because that's very Khamzat but I can see him doing Jan/Feb then a Nov/dec so he's technically 2 but it seems like we haven't seen him in a year while he dominates twitter in between
