“If Chimaev wins, he will need to take a break and think about who to fight next. Borralho, Imavov, de Ridder? I think these are not the most interesting fights. Strickland? I don’t know what fight could be loud enough for Chimaev.
I like the idea of a fight between Chimaev and Paulo Costa. But Paulo needs to beat Adesanya, for example, then he could be next in line, especially if Costa wins beautifully. Imavov, Borralho, and de Ridder are not stars. But Costa has everything, he just needs to be more active. This is another guy who has very long breaks between fights.”
