Khamzat Chimaev could fall behind in the bid for a UFC title shot after Leon Edwards knocked out Kamaru Usman.
Edwards became UFC welterweight champion with a phenomenal final-round KO victory over Kamaru Usman last weekend, becoming the first man to defeat the Nigerian in his UFC career. The British star had previously lost to Usman but earned his revenge in Utah which has now seen many call for an immediate trilogy fight which will likely take place in the UK.
A whole host of fighters are looking to enforce a title challenge following Edwards' victory including Colby Covington, Chimaev and even Conor McGregor when he returns. However former heavyweight champion Daniel Cormier believes Chimaev will now face the longest wait as he first has to progress beyond Nate Diaz when they meet next month.
