UFC middleweight ranking fighter Caio Borralho stated that Khamzat Chimaev may retire after UFC 319.

“I heard some people saying that if he wins the title, he may retire. Yes, I’ve heard something like that. There is such a rumor. If he wins the title, he will retire. I’m not sure about that. I’m not sure if I believe it. But it’s possible. He is under too much pressure. He has health issues. There is a lot of pressure from his country. He already has a lot of money. Very, very much. So why not retire?” — said Borralho in an interview with MMA HOJE.
