– Is there any chance that Khamzat Chimaev, with whom you train in the same club, is in your area?
– He resumed training, he feels very powerful. Our management is working on his visa, his US visa has expired, it’s in progress. I don’t think they will have time to get a visa before my fight.
Chimaev (11-0) played his last fight on April 9, beating Gilbert Burns by decision. Prior to this, some publications wrote that the fighter was denied entry to the United States, but later his brother denied this information. After the fight, Chimaev arrived in his native Chechen Republic and held a training session with the region’s leader, Ramzan Kadyrov. Sources in the United States have repeatedly reported that the next welterweight fight could be with Nate Diaz or Colby Covington.
The fight between Kutateladze and Ismagulov will take place next weekend as part of UFC on ESPN 37.
