UFC middleweight Kelvin Gastelum named two colleagues from the division who, in his opinion, have a chance to defeat the reigning champion Khamzat Chimaev.

“I believe that Reinier de Ridder has the best chance in a fight with Chimaev. This match will be the loudest and will make people watch it. But one shouldn’t underestimate Nassourdine Imavov. He knocked out Adesanya and defeated Borralho. He is a real threat to the champion,” said Gastelum at the press conference.
