Chimaev is flexing about his sparring session with Caio
Borralho amid rumors of a matchup between the two.
Borralho recently claimed that Chimaev has accepted a matchup with
him, potentially for an interim middleweight title. “The Natural”
also believes it’ll be a bigger draw than Chimaev fighting champ
Dricus Du
Plessis for the title.
“Khamzat said yes! The only thing that makes sense is the Interim
belt!” Borralho wrote on X. “This fight is gonna be bigger than him
vs Dricus! Mark my words.”

While Chimaev didn’t refute rumors of the matchup, “Borz” responded
with a picture of himself holding Borralho in a rear-naked choke in
sparring.
Known as one of the best wrestlers in the
Ultimate Fighting Championship, Chimaev has finished six of his
eight UFC wins so far. The undefeated contender is coming off a
dominant first-round submission win over former champ Robert
Whittaker.
Meanwhile, Borralho hasn’t lost since his lone pro defeat in his
sophomore outing in 2015. The Brazilian is has finished two of his
seven UFC wins and comes off a unanimous decision win over veteran
contender Jared
Cannonier.
