Famous Brazilian UFC fighter Johnny Walker shared his thoughts on one of the most discussed athletes in the world of mixed martial arts - middleweight champion Khamzat Chimaev. According to him, Chimaev currently has an absolute advantage in this weight category and is significantly ahead of his competitors.
"When I saw Chimaev's fight against Dricus du Plessy, I realized that he showed a real master class. His skill level is at a completely different stage. Hamzat once again proved that he is truly worthy of the title. In the current situation, I think there is no fighter who can compete with him in the middleweight division. Maybe in the near future or in the coming years, such a rival will appear, but I haven't seen him yet," Walker said in an interview with the "Helen Yee Sports" YouTube channel.
It should be recalled that Khamzat Chimaev fought against the representative of South Africa Drikus du Plessy at the UFC 319 tournament. The fiercely contested fight ended with Chimaev's victory by unanimous decision of the judges. Thus, he won the UFC middleweight title and made history.
After the fight, the world's media and sports experts emphasized Chimaev's versatility in defense and attack, strong physical training, and psychological resilience. According to Johnnie Walker, these very aspects make him almost unbeatable today.
Although there are various speculations about Hamzat's future in the middleweight division, many analysts note that his superiority may persist for a long time. Because he is not only a strong fighter, but also distinguished by tactical thinking and a fully professional approach.
Therefore, in the current situation, Johnny Walker's words, "There is no opponent against Chimaev," resonate with the opinion of many sports fans.
