On April 13, the UFC officially updated the sub-middleweight (77 kg) ranking, and the "wolf king" Chimayev jumped from 11th to 3rd. Chimayev's rankings have improved by leaps and bounds, mainly because of his battle with Burns on April 10, Beijing time.
Chimayev
Although this game has been a few days, it is still a focus topic in martial arts. Many people believe that Chimayev's strength has been seriously overestimated before, and this time he has exposed his true level, and it may be difficult to continue the unbeaten record. There are also people who support Chimayev, believing that his match with Burns is not controversial, and although Chimayev has a difficult performance, there is no doubt that he will win.
The two boxers on Chimayev's ranking are Edwards and Covington, and champion Usman does not count towards the ranking. Edwards will challenge Usman next, but the match between the two may not be played out in the short term due to Uisman's hand surgery not long ago.

And Chimayev is also very likely to fight the first-ranked Covington next. Covington had an arrogant personality, was extremely popular in the United States, was technically well-rounded, and was no less than Chimayev in wrestling. Moreover, when Chimayev was born and shouted in all directions, Covington did not care about the "rookie" at that time, thinking that he still needed to be tempered. Chimaev, after defeating Burns, shouted to Covington and said he could blow up the other side.
Covington
This time, after foreign netizens saw Chimayev's strength, for the topic of his future battle with Covington, Chimayev became a dog (the side that was not optimistic). In addition, Chimayev also called the middleweight (84 kg) champion Black Dragon, saying that he could beat the opponent. Sehudo had suggested that Chimayev could try to win the middleweight championship and then the second middleweight championship. Chimayev did not give a positive answer at the time.
The Black Dragon didn't talk much about Chimayev's call, and he also paid close attention to Chimayev's battle with Burns on April 10. After watching this game, the black dragon looked very calm and calm. In fact, there is still a big gap between Chimayev and the Black Dragon in terms of standing, and it may be too early to look back at Chimayev's four-sided shouting at that time.

Recently, Chimayev's coaching team also spoke out on social media, saying that Chimayev only played about 40%. In short, although Chimayev won the victory, he was still questioned, and the reason was because he did not show the crushing momentum as some people expected. But Chimayev's appearance brings freshness to the sub-middleweight, and he is in the ascendancy, and the future is still worth looking forward to.
