"We want to win the welterweight belt first and then move up. After we take the middleweight title, we'll get ready for something else. I'm not worried about his bantamweight and heavyweight fights. That's what Hamzat does every day. He only trains with guys in those weight classes. His body is used to this kind of workload, not like other welterweights. We have fighters of his weight class in our gym, but I can't put them in sparring with welterweights or heavyweights, but I can Khamzat," said the specialist.
Let's remind, next fight Chimaev will lead on September, 10th against Nate Diaz.
