Wrestling specialist Khamzat Chimaev claimed another victim outside the UFC. This Friday (18), in Florida (USA), the Russian, former middleweight champion (83,9 kg), fought in the co-main event of RAF 13 and dominated Gilbert Durinho in the rematch. 'Borz' won against the Brazilian by technical superiority with a score of 15×4 and already has a target in mind, who is an old acquaintance, for his next performance.

With his pressure and skill, Chimaev was always ahead of his rival. It's true that, despite the difference in wrestling skill, Durinho surprised everyone and also took down the Russian. However, 'Borz', determined to prove his superiority, didn't falter and took down the Brazilian repeatedly until closing the score. After the fight, the athletes displayed great sportsmanship and embraced.
To date, Durinho is the only opponent who has managed to take Chimaev to the second round of his fights in RAF. The Russian is undefeated in the organization, with three wins. Furthermore, 'Borz', excited about his new victory, made it clear that he wants to face the bad boy and champion Colby Covington , one of the company's biggest stars. It's worth noting that, when he was in the UFC, the American attacked Khamzat with harsh terms.
"Sure. Why not? He has the belt," said the UFC star.
