Chimaev called Pereira an easy opponent for himself

“Of course, I want to fight for the second belt. Alex Pereira, if you don't get into a stand-up game with him, is a very convenient opponent for me. Everyone says he is a very powerful guy, but I have never conceded in strength to anyone. He also performed at middleweight, then moved to the light heavyweight division.

And so... If they give Nassourdine Imavov, or Reinier de Ridder, or Anthony Hernandez—there's not much difference for me. The main thing is to be paid well.”
