Unfortunately, the Nigerian is no longer champion, but even without the belt, the duel is enticing on paper. If the opposition is not yet official, the two athletes regularly exchange through the media. Lately, it is the former champion who went to his provocation via Twitter. Thus, Kamaru Usman announces that he will &#8220;\u2009stop\u2009&#8221; Khamzat Chimaev.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">I stop him in 4.

It must be said that his CV speaks for itself. Apart from Leon Edwards, no one in the UFC has managed to put Usman down. This is probably why the latter believes that he will &#8220;\u2009stop Khamzat in 4 rounds\u2009&#8221;.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The response from &#8220;\u2009Borz\u2009&#8221; was not long in coming. In order to tease the prediction of his potential future opponent, Chimaev called Usman &#8220;\u2009Mysticmusman\u2009&#8221;, in reference to Conor McGregor&#8217;s nickname.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">I stop him in 4.
