Chimaev told how his conflict with Kosta began

UFC middleweight Khamzat Chimaev told how his feud with the former contender for the promotion's championship belt in this division began Paulo Costoi.

“It all started at the UFC Institute in Las Vegas. In general, he greeted us and was very polite. At first everything was fine. But then one friend showed on his phone how Costa was talking all sorts of nonsense about me. Like he’ll tear me up and all that...” said Chimaev.

Let us remind you that Chimaev and Costa were supposed to fight at UFC 294, but the Brazilian contracted a staphylococcal infection and was forced to withdraw from the fight.
