Brendan Schaub doesn’t believe Kamaru Usman wants to fight Khamzat Chimaev: “The Khamzat train is coming, it’s undeniable, it’s scary”

Brendan Schaub spoke on his ‘The Schaub Show’ podcast about a Kamaru Usman vs Khamzat Chimaev potential future fight.

Khamzat (10-0 MMA), the welterweight force to be reckoned with, has currently agreed to fight Gilbert Burns (20-4 MMA) at UFC 273 on April 9th, 2022 in Jacksonville, Florida . Confirmation from the UFC is still to come.

‘Borz’ last competed back in October 2021 at UFC 267, where he defeated Li Jingliang (18-7 MMA) in the first round.

As for ‘Durinho’, Burns is coming off a decision win over Stephen Thompson (16-6 MMA) at UFC 264 in July of 2021.

Khamzat Chimaev has had his sights set on Kamaru Usman, and took to Twitter with a direct challenge:

“So your trying to change weight before I come for you? Don’t go anywhere I am coming! I smash you and burns in 2 mins believe me! I’m THE KING here.@USMAN84kg”

In speaking about Kamaru and Khamzat, on his podcast, Schaub had this to say:

“Nobody wants to fight Khamzat , I don’t think Kamaru Usman does.

If I’m right, top 10, I’m leaning on the rankings going, he’s 11, I’m not fighting him.

It’s undeniable, it’s scary and we’re going to get a lot of answers when he fights Gilbert Burns. I have a good idea that that’s not going to go great for Gilbert Burns.”

Brendan Schaub continued:

That Khamzat trains coming. I don’t see anybody beating him.

So if I’m Whittakers team, it’s time to move.

I don’t know how much Kamaru Usman has but I don’t know who beats him (Khamzat). He’d be favored over everybody, that’s what’s scary.”
