UFC Middleweight Champion Israel Adesanya shared his impressions of the fight Khamzat Chimaev With Kevin Holland at UFC 279.

“This fight was crazy. You have to give credit to Holland. He showed himself perfectly, fought, tried to get out.

But Khamzat was one step ahead, even two steps ahead. But he failed the weigh-in, so he's still a bitch," Adesanya said on his YouTube channel.

Recall that initially Chimaev was supposed to fight with Nate Diaz, but the Swedish Chechen failed the weigh-in and the promotion decided to change his opponent. As a result, Khamzat fought Kevin Holland and won by choke in the first round.
