Khamzat Chimaev

UFC welterweight prospect Khamzat Chimaev reacted to criticism from the champion Kamaru Usman. Earlier, the latter said that the Swedish Chechen does not deserve a title fight because he did not fight high-level opponents.

“Who had 10 finishes in 10 fights? Some say, "Oh, he didn't fight anyone." However, the fighters who are considered the best were also in this position at the beginning of their careers. Jones did not face top fighters in his first fights. Conor didn't have crazy opposition in the first fights. Khabib didn't either.

However, if we take the best fighters - even Jones - they all missed blows, but I didn’t, ”MMA Junkie quotes Chimaev.
