PUBLICITY:

Paulo Borrachinha wasted no time and went after Khamzat Chimaev after UFC 328. Present at the event held this Saturday (9), in New Jersey (USA), the Brazilian, declared rival of 'Borz', did not forgive him for the surprising defeat to Sean Strickland via split decision in the main fight.

Immediately after the announcement of the American's victory by split decision, Borrachinha mocked the Chechen and reinforced his interest in facing him in the UFC, both in the middleweight division (up to 83,9 kg) and in the light heavyweight division (up to 93 kg). It's worth noting that Chimaev lost not only the fight to Strickland, but also the middleweight belt and his undefeated MMA record. Having seen a tired and bloodied Khamzat up close, the Brazilian laughed, joked about his nickname, and exuded confidence, implying that he will also punish him in the octagon in a possible fight.
