Fight will have to take place in Febuary or atleast before 17th Febuary due to Ramadan cause if the fight happens post Ramanda it will cause fan riot hence it will likely happen before 17th Febuary otherwise the fans willl start blaming Khamzat and Dana for alleged inactivity or what not but anyways Chimaev and Imavov are going to fight no matter what.

I could see it happening in Febuary 14th either in Abu Dhabi or Riyadh during Riyadh season.

Imavov is currently working on his game already and is coming for that title. I saw his interview yesterday in Abu Dhabi, he is there to support Ciryl Gane. He said he is ready for the fight against Chimaev.

Probably going to be easy work for Chimaev but Imavov has earned the shot. Cant wait to see it.

What makes Imavov a dangerous opponent is the sense of no threat or the sense of false security going into his fights.

He will probably go back to dagestan for this training camp. He is young and hungry. He is a risky fight for anyone

Wait, what? Imavov trains in Dagestan?

He can train there all he wants,Khamzat trains with Sadulaev and other beasts
Even without them he is way better then Imavov when it comes to wrestling/grappling
 
Not going to lie, I'm not a fan of fighters or coaches using Ramadan as an excuse not to fight. At all. So you have to train differently for a month. That's your choice and your problem, shouldn't be anyone else's. MMA's not a 9-5 Monday to Friday gig anyways, so rub some dirt on it and get to work.

Chimaev took no damage at all in his last fight, no reason he can't fight. January would have been a good date for in interim fight if KC was a plan for the WH house card. Otherwise, the WH date aligns almost right on schedule for the one-fight-a-year-champ.
 
Lol no.

Khamzat's gonna hold out for probably another 6 or so months and demanding he only fights Pereira and no contenders at MW.
 
Ilia & Kayla at 324

Ankalaev is probably the only muslim fighter who fights during Ramadan and he had a good competitive fight against the champion actually
 
Let's get this booked and make it happen.
 
If I was a Haram fighter I would only fight during Ramadan
