Athletistic will broadcast the fight live in text: MMA. UFC 294. Chimaev – Usman. Direct
Chimaev has been waiting for a truly top-notch opponent for a very long time. And I got it! Usman is a former UFC welterweight champion who, until recently, was considered invulnerable. But recently, Usman lost the belt to Leon Edwards.
Kamaru suffered two consecutive defeats. And twice the Nigerian lost to Edwards. Is this the end for Usman? The fight with Chimaev is an opportunity to return to the big game.
By the way, the Chechen fighter was initially supposed to fight with the Brazilian Paulo Costa. But due to elbow problems and surgery, he refused the fight. Now, “Borz” has a former champion as his opponent.
Chimaev has 12 victories in 12 career fights. In the UFC, he has six victories, of which only one was not early! But the Swedish Chechens have never had such opponents.
Bookmakers consider Chimaev the favorite for the fight. Bets on his victory are accepted at odds of 1.33. You can bet on Usman winning for 3.33.
The battle will begin around 10:30 p.m. Moscow time.
