“This guy is in the welterweight division. Yes, he had one fight in the middle division, but with a low-rated opponent. He can definitely beat some middleweights, but I'll put it this way: "Show me something first."
His last performance was impressive. I said that I may not like you, but I am impressed with what you do. I give him credit. Yes, Khamzat is a beast. But he's a 170-pound beast," Adesanya said on the Hotboxin' podcast.
On the morning of April 10 at UFC 273 in Jacksonville, Chimaev will fight against Gilbert Burns.
