Uzbek UFC fighter speaks out about bouts with Chimaev and Rakhmonov

Nursulton Ruziboev, a UFC middleweight division fighter, spoke out about a possible bout with the promotion's promotional prospect at that weight, Khamzat Chimaev.

"It's a very interesting question, I never thought about it. After this fight or another fight I want to fight at 77 kg - then we'll see what happens," Ruziboev said.

After the Uzbek fighter spoke of wanting to drop down to welterweight, he was asked about a possible fight with the top of that division, Shavkat Rakhmonov.

"Before, when I used to fight in the Kazakh leagues, when I wasn't in the UFC yet, and he wasn't (in the UFC) either, a lot of people wanted us to fight him, but now he's top-3. If I get to this point, we'll see," Ruziboev replied.
