Chimaev told how he was deceived by UFC management

Khamzat Chimaev told how he reacted to the news that their fight with Kamaru Usman at UFC 294 will have the status of a contender.

“To be honest, I’m not thinking about a title fight right now. I'm focused on Usman. The UFC bosses already promised me before the fight against Gilbert Burns: “If you beat this guy, we’ll give you a title shot.” And now I’ve been waiting for two years. I had another fight against Holland, but again I didn’t get the title. So I don't know what's going on. I'm going to blow everyone's heads off in the UFC. If I finish off everyone, they'll have to give me all the belts."
