Khamzat Chimaev says he is ready to fight at UFC Paris or UFC Abu Dhabi

Khamzat Chimaev has not fought in the octagon since September 2022. This long absence can be accounted to multiple things such as injuries, and not being able to find opponents to fight him. The Swedish Mixed Martial Artist has had enough of looking on from the sidelines and is looking to fight someone as soon as possible. He tweeted out saying:

"I am ready to fight in paris ready to fight after in abu dhabi let me smash somebody @ufc"

Take a look at the tweet:

He has a number of opponents lined up for him from Jared Cannonier to Marvin Vettori. Cannonier is ready to fight 'Borz' if it guarantees him a title shot, the American is looking to fight for the title, not for entertainment. Vettori, on the other hand, said he is not scared of Chimaev and he has never turned down a fight so he would not mind fighting the Swede either.
