10 Welterweight Prospects the UFC Should Sign in 2020

Khamzat “Borz” Chimaev

26 | 6’1” | Stockholm, Sweeden | 6-0 | 6 Finishes | 3 KO/TKOs, 3 Submissions (Heel Hook, Strikes, RNC) | Combined Opponents’ Record: 27-8 | Best Win– Ikram Aliskerov (8-0)

Fighting out of Sweden, Khamzat Chimaev trains out of a top local gym in Allstars Training Center with the likes of Nico Musoke, Alexander Gustafsson, Ilir Latifi, the Teymur brothers and many more. He’s looked good in his MMA career as he was a former welterweight and middleweight Swedish wrestling champion.

Chimaev is a fast finisher with a 100% finish rate stopping all his opponents inside two rounds. He has heavy hands as shown on the feet with one-punch knockout power. He has also shown that his wrestling background works quite well in his MMA career. There is still a lot to see from him, but he’s beat pretty decent competition.
