'Borz', who is currently on a five-fight winning streak in the promotion, is coming off a hard-fought decision win against former title challenger Gilbert Burns at UFC 273. During the UFC Athlete Q&A ahead of UFC Paris, St-Pierre was asked what he thought of Chimaev's title chances. According to 'GSP': "Yes, Khamzat [Chimaev] is very good. He's got all the skills. He's very good, and he's showcased incredible durability and great mental strength in his last fight with Gilbert Burns. Because he was pushed to the limit, and that's when you recognize a true warrior, a true champion, than a contender. When he faced those moments of adversity, and some collapse but some pushed through and succeed." 'Rush' referenced Chimaev's last fight against Gilbert Burns as a test that he managed to pass with flying colors. 'Borz' faced 'Durinho' at UFC 273 earlier this year, in the only fight that he failed to finish. The fight won the Fight of the Night bonus and extended Chimaev's win streak to 11. It also propelled him to the third spot in the welterweight contenders rankings. Prior to that, Chimaev came into the promotion with a 6-0 unbeaten record.The Russian-born Swede's first four fights in the UFC won him Performance of the Night bonuses. Georges St-Pierre certainly knows a thing or two about the welterweight championship and believes Khamzat Chimaev has the tools to make it to the top.
