UFC Middleweight Champion Israel Adesanya made it clear that he was not yet interested in a meeting with welterweight prospect Khamzat Chimaev.

“For now, I don’t need to take Chimaev seriously. However, he is the kind of guy I would like to fight. He draws a lot of attention to his fights. First, let him demonstrate something. His performance in the last battle quite impressed me, made me pay attention to him. However, now he is screaming into the void. Who did he fight at middleweight?" Adesanya said on the True Geordie podcast.
