During a recent discussion on the MMArcade Podcast, Whittaker acknowledged Chimaev's wrestling skills, highlighting them as being of a very high level:

"I don't know how anyone beats Khamzat at the moment. Yeah, [to be] honest, he's a bit of a menace, man. His wrestling is so high level... I feel like the way to beat him is with high-level jiu-jitsu. So if Imavov has high-level back jiu-jitsu, you know which I know he does have high-level jiu-jitsu, but if it's that high level like Gilbert Burns' high level, then maybe we'll see something... It's a fight; anything can happen, maybe Chimaev dives into a knee or foot." [9:00 of the podcast]

Currently, Nassourdine Imavov is a potential contender for Chimaev's middleweight championship after his victory over Caio Borralho at UFC Paris. Additionally, the winner of the match between Reinier de Ridder and Anthony Hernandez may also earn a chance to compete for the 185-pound title.
