5 dream fights for Khamzat Chimaev

#4. Khamzat Chimaev vs. Shavkat Rakhmonov

Shavkat Rakhmonov has a record of 15-0.

Both Khamzat Chimaev and Shavkat Rakhmonov have forced their way into the rankings without tasting defeat. They have become two of the most feared men on the roster in the process. If they were to maintain their undefeated streaks before fighting for the title, this bout has the potential to be electric.

Rakhmonov may not get nearly the same amount of attention as 'Borz,' but his UFC resume is similarly impressive. He's 3-0 in the promotion and has finished every opponent he's ever faced, a streak similar to what we saw from Chimaev before the Gilbert Burns fight.

Both men are exceptional at grappling and striking, so a bout between them could be one of the highest-level match-ups the UFC has seen. Given just how dominant both men have been so far, the intrigue in this one would be massive, making it a proper dream fight for Chimaev.

#3. Khamzat Chimaev vs. Darren Till

Darren Till holds a record of 18-4-1.

We might be getting a little far-fetched here, but a contest between Khamzat Chimaev and Darren Till screams dream fight. In a sport where we've seen former best friends end up fighting one another before, perhaps we could see these two face off one day.

For now, they appear to be the best of friends and are currently competing in two different divisions. However, Chimaev has already competed in the UFC at middleweight, so that would likely not be an obstacle if the pair fought one day.

This matchup would be an actual dream fight, simply down to its storyline. Imagine the promotional packages with all the clips of the two friends introducing the bout. As insane a story as this would be, it doesn't rank higher, as you would imagine Chimaev would be a heavy favorite.
