Khamzat Chimaev has quickly established himself as one of the most feared fighters in the UFC, and no one knows his potential better than Caio Borralho, the newly minted top 5 middleweight fighter. After training extensively with Khamzat in Sweden, Borralho reveals why he believes Khamzat will not only dominate Robert Whittaker but also finish Israel Adesanya.

“I’ve Never Seen Anyone Train as Much as He Does”

Caio Borralho gained a unique insight into Khamzat Chimaev’s training regimen when he served as Khamzat’s primary sparring partner during a camp in Sweden. According to Borralho, nobody matches Khamzat’s intensity in training.

“I’ve never seen any other guy in my life that trains as much as he trains… We did five-round sparring, then after sparring was done, he did like three or four rounds on the pads, and then after that, he did like a 30-minute run… I think he needs that… that’s the only way he knows how to train properly,” said Borralho.

This extreme training discipline has helped Khamzat dominate his opponents, and Borralho believes Khamzat’s physicality and mentality will be key factors in his upcoming battles against the division’s best.

“Khamzat Will Dominate Whittaker”

Robert Whittaker has long been one of the division’s most respected fighters, but Borralho sees Khamzat as a unique challenge for the former champion. Having firsthand experience with Khamzat’s wrestling, Borralho understands what Whittaker is up against.

“I think Khamzat is gonna dominate him in the wrestling, the ground… but Whittaker was a champion, so we can never doubt a champion… it’s definitely a fun fight, and I’m willing to see this fight for sure,” Borralho stated.

For Borralho, it’s not just Khamzat’s wrestling or physicality; it’s his unpredictable style and relentless intensity that make him such a tough challenge for anyone in the division.

“Adesanya is Next – Khamzat Will Definitely Finish Him”

With Whittaker in his sights, a possible title fight with Israel Adesanya could be the next step, something Borralho views as a given challenge for Khamzat. Although Adesanya has been a dominant force in the middleweight division, Borralho is convinced that Khamzat’s blend of wrestling and striking will be too much for the former champion.

“I see this fight going to Khamzat… he’s gonna dominate him in the wrestling, the ground… but Whittaker was a champion, so we can never doubt a champion,” Borralho commented.

The Future of the Middleweight Division: A New Dominant Champion?

Khamzat’s intense training regimen and Borralho’s insights point to a fighter ready to take over the middleweight division. Borralho, who is himself a rising star in the UFC, admits that he is prepared to face Khamzat one day, but for now, it is the Chechen fighter who is poised to make history.

With potential fights against both Whittaker and Adesanya on the horizon, the future looks bright for Khamzat Chimaev. If Borralho’s predictions hold true, the UFC could be entering a new era where Khamzat not only dominates – he finishes legends.
