Imavov Explains the Delay for the Khamzat Chimaev Title Bout

Imavov said his bout with champion Chimaev was targeted for December, then February, before collapsing because of Chimaev’s injury. “No final news yet, no contract signed,” Imavov said. He added UFC matchmakers still want it: “We spoke recently with Mick Maynard… they want to see the fight happen, but nothing is confirmed yet.” The delay keeps middleweight (185-lbs) contenders waiting.
