Former title contender in the UFC middleweight category Jared Cannonier told how he would fight the undefeated prospect Khamzat Chimaev, if their fight is scheduled.
“When we go into the Octagon, Chimaev will try to take me to the ground. He will definitely have to work hard to do this. Even if he succeeds, Khamzat will need to hold me back.
He doesn't throw that many punches while standing up. My goal is to not let him take the fight to the ground, where he will be comfortable. I’m really good at neutralizing the strong skills of fighters like that,” Cannonier said in an interview with Inside Fighting.
