Chimaev received a challenge from a top middleweight

Former UFC middleweight title challenger, American veteran Jared Cannonier expressed a desire to share the octagon with the undefeated prospect of the division from the UAE Khamzat Chimaev.

“They really want him to win the title, and Khamzat really wants to become a champion himself. Of course, I also want to fight for the belt. So if I don't get a title shot now, I'll definitely fight the next guy in line, and if it's Chimaev, then let's do it! This fight makes sense,” Cannonier said in an interview with James Lynch’s YouTube channel.

Let us remind you that the 39-year-old Cannonier has not appeared in the Octagon since June last year, when he defeated Marvin Vettori by unanimous decision.
