Rising UFC star Khamzat Chimaev calls out Kamaru Usman and Israel Adesanya

Rising UFC star Khamzat Chimaev has called out welterweight champion Kamaru Usman and middleweight champion Israel Adesanya for his next fight.

Chimaev picked up the biggest win of his UFC career last month by outpointing former title challenger Gilbert Burns in a fight of the year contender. The win leapfrogged 'Borz' up to No.2 in the welterweight rankings after just three fights at the weight class.

Almost a month on from his last fight, Chimaev wants to book his return to the cage. The Swede, who has previously outlined his plans to become the first ever three-weight champion in the UFC, wants a title shot against either Usman or Adesanya next.
