Dana White discusses a potential Khamzat Chimaev vs. Kamaru Usman title fight

Khamzat Chimaev is still at least one fight away from a title shot. However, that has not stopped fans of the sport from speculating on how 'Borz' would fare against current UFC welterweight champion Kamaru Usman.

It wasn't just fans discussing this potential super fight either, as Dana White spoke about it with Kevin Iole. The UFC president stated:

"I mean, Khamzat burst onto the scene. If he can rip through a Nate Diaz, a Gilbert Burns, one of these kind of guys and get to a title shot. When you think about... there is no doubt whatsoever, Kamaru Usman is the pound-for-pound best fighter in the world, right? The guy wins the ultimate fighter, he's gone 14-0 in the UFC and he's fought everybody. Not only has he fought everybody, but he's starting to lap people now, he's starting to fight them twice, right? Has the record for longest win streak, has the record for least time on the bottom, has the record for highest takedown defense... That's a real fight."
