However, manager Ali Abdelaziz, who represents Khamzat Chimaev, believes otherwise. Speaking to RJ Clifford on SiriusXM, the Dominance MMA CEO gave his take on the speculated matchup between Nick Diaz and ‘Borz’. Abdelaziz stated that it wouldn’t be fair to feed the UFC legend to a rising up-and-comer like Chimaev:
However, if the UFC brass green-lights the aforementioned matchup, Ali Abdelaziz won’t refuse the fight proposition.
Ali Abdelaziz mentions the next likely opponent for Khamzat Chimaev:
Earlier this year, Khamzat Chimaev was involved in a Twitter scuffle with fellow UFC welterweight Neil Magny. The feud escalated to a point where both fighters promised to attack each other if they ever met.
As per Ali Abdelaziz, Neil Magny could be next in line for a fight against Khamzat Chimaev. Magny is expected to face Geoff Neal on May 8th. If victorious, Abdelaziz is plotting a fight between Magny and Chimaev for June 2021.
