LAS VEGAS – Ikram Aliskerov can see a Khamzat Chimaev rematch down the line, but knows he has some work to do.
Aliskerov (13-1) punched his ticket to the UFC with a quick kimura finish of Mario Sousa at Dana White’s Contender Series 54 on Tuesday. The combat sambo champion has justs one setback on his record: a knockout loss to Chimaev in April 2019.
Although the Dagestan native expects to reach the top, he knows Chimaev is a lot further along in his career.
