Henry Cejudo, Former UFC Two-Weight Champion, Gives Advice To The Promotion's Rising Star Khamzat Chimaev.
“If I were Khamzat Chimaev, I would climb up because Leon Edwards and Kamaru Usman won’t fight until February. I think Hamzat will beat Diaz. I believe that he will challenge the winner of the fight Israel Adesanya - Alex Pereira. As for me, if Khamzat decides that he wants to return to welterweight, then he should do it. But I wouldn't wait for Kamara or Leon because it would potentially take a year before he fights one of them. I know that Hamzat wants to be active and it is difficult for him to make weight in the welterweight division, so I would do that, ”said Cejudo.
Recall that the next fight Chimaev will hold on September 10 at UFC 279. His opponent will be Nate Diaz.
