"Yes, we will see Chimaev again this year. Negotiations for his next fight are close to completion.
I don't know if Hamzat is ready for a title fight. He just broke into the top 10 by defeating the No. 11 ranked fighter in the division. It's quite different when you move up to the top 10 and start fighting top 5 and above. He's one or two fights away from a title fight," MMA Fighting quoted White as saying.
Recall, Chimaev defeated Lee Jingling in the first round by choke at UFC 267 on October 30.
