President and head coach of the Akhmat fight club, Murad Bichuev, said in an exclusive interview with Telecomasia.net that UFC light heavyweight champion Alex Pereira has minimal chances of defeating middleweight champion Khamzat Chimaev.
Murad Bichuev exclusively for Telecom Asia Sport
I don’t see anyone worthy in this weight class. I’d love to see a fight between Khamzat and Alex Pereira. He’s a powerful striker. If there are no lucky punches, the dominance will be even more terrifying than against du Plessis.
Chimaev’s last fight took place in August 2025 at UFC 319, where he defeated Dricus du Plessis by unanimous decision. His professional record stands at 15 wins and zero losses.
Alex Pereira last competed in October 2025 at UFC 320, winning via first-round technical knockout against Magomed Ankalaev. His record currently reads 13 wins and 3 losses.
