Brock Lesnar is currently signed with WWE and it doesn’t seem he is getting back in the UFC octagon anytime soon. But that doesn’t keep Khamzat Chimaev asking for a battle with ‘The Beast Incarnate’. Chimaev put on his most impressive performance in a UFC octagon to date at UFC 267. ‘Borz’ picked up Li Jingliang and carried him across the octagon. He then slammed ‘The Leech’ down and locked in a rear-naked choke submission for the win. Dana White Asks Woman To Assault Jake Paul
As he carried Jingliang across the octagon, the commentary team noted that Chimaev was talking to UFC president Dana White, who was sitting octagon side.
Khamzat Chimaev wants a bout with Brock Lesnar
Combat sports journalist Kevin Iole has since revealed what ‘Borz’ told White.
Iole posted the following to his Twitter account:
“Dana White just told me that when Khamzat brought Li over to him, he was saying, Who’s next? I’ll fight anyone. Give me Brock Lesnar, I don’t care. #UFC267.”
A matchup with Michael Chiesa could be coming in Chimaev’s way while Stephen ‘Wonderboy’ Thompson and Jorge ‘Gamebred’ Masvidal could also be options for his next fight.
Whilst ‘Gamebred’ is set to face Leon Edwards at UFC 269 in December, Thompson hasn’t fought since a loss to Gilbert Burns and is currently without an opponent. ‘Durinho’ and Vicente Luque could also be options.
