Current UFC middleweight champion Israel Adesanya responded to the promotion's welterweight prospect Khamzat Chimaev.

“I've only seen him fight once at middleweight and I can tell you he can beat a lot of top middleweights, but that doesn't mean I have to take him seriously. I feel like it will be the same story with him as with Paulo Costa," Adesanya said on the MMA Hour.

Recall, not so long ago, Chimaev criticized Adesanya's fight, and also said that he would finish him in the first round.
