“Everyone is talking about Khamzat, although he has not yet fought with middleweights. This is my only complaint about him. The guy is a fighter of the highest class. And he really proved it. Clearly he wants to fight. Therefore, if they don’t give me a fight for the title, I will be happy to share the Octagon with him,” Cannonier said in an interview with the YouTube channel The Schmo.
Let us remember that in his last fight, Chimaev not without difficulty defeated Kamaru Usman, who came out on short notice, by a split decision. This happened last October at the UFC 294 tournament in Abu Dhabi, UAE.
