It looks like the UFC is looking for another opponent than Kamaru Usman for Khamzat Chimaev’s next fight.

Now, it’s rumored that top ranked Jared Cannonier will be the next opponent for ”Borz”, as his coaches just kind of confirmed this in a recent Instagram story.

Coach Azamat “Ozzy” Dugulubgov recetly posted a screenshot of himself, “studying the next opponent for the Borz”.  And even though he blanked out the athlete in question a MMA fan figured out that the opponent might very well be Cannonier.
