Tarasov: "Khabib would have had a hard time in a fight with Chimaev"

Russian blogger and MMA fighter Artem Tarasov said that he would like to see a duel between the former UFC champion Khabib Nurmagomedov and welterweight prospect Khamzat Chimaev.

“Khamzat Chimaev has not yet revealed himself in his battles, he has not shown himself. He has a very experienced opponent, and if he wins now, he will prove that he is one of the best fighters, perhaps even at the level of Khabib.

And I would look at the fight between Khabib Nurmagomedov and Khamzat Chimaev, no matter how it sounds. I think Khabib would have a hard time in this fight. But it will be possible to talk about this only after the victory of Khamzat. He is a unique fighter, but he has a very serious opponent, ”Gazeta.ru quotes Tarasov.

Recall that on the morning of April 10, Chimaev will have to fight against Gilbert Burns at UFC 273 in Jacksonville.
