Alex Pereira, UFC middleweight champion, explains why Khamzat Chimaev you should take the fight with him in the light heavyweight limit.

“Chimaev doesn’t want to fight at welterweight because he will become the next contender, and if he loses, he will lose everything. The best option for him right now is to fight me at light heavyweight. Stop running!” said the Brazilian.

Recall that earlier Chimaev said that he was ready to fight Alex in the middleweight limit in January.
