Can Dana White set up a Khamzat Chimaev vs. Shavkat Rakhmonov bout?

Shavkat Rakhmonov is an Asian in the welterweight division, who is just clearing his opponents with ease by early finishes. Sounds similar? That is what it does to most MMA fans as they compare the ‘Nomad’ with the Russian-born Swede UFC sensation, Khamzat Chimaev.

Ever since he stepped foot in the UFC, Rakhmonov has been treading on similar lines as ‘Borz’. And many fight fans want both of these ace athletes to compete against each other.

However, it doesn’t seem possible at the moment as Rakhmonov isn’t ranked as of yet and Khamzat Chimaev, on the other hand, is aiming at the top names such as Gilbert Burns.
