Top Swedish UFC welterweight Khamzat Chimaev made it clear that he was aiming for a duel with the former middleweight champion Robert Whittaker.
“I think next fight I will fight Whittaker. He has no opponent. Paulo Costa ran away from us somewhere, although he said a lot of things about me and Robert.
I want this duel, Robert is pleasant to me as a person. He is a great guy, does not engage in trash talk, does not overstep the bounds of what is permitted. We will have a good press conference, and then we will fight, ”Chimaev said in an interview with Red Corner MMA.
Recall that Chimaev had his last fight in September last year, “suffocating” Kevin Holland in the first round. In total, he has 12 victories and not a single defeat in mixed martial arts.
