The undefeated Khamzat Chimaev, holder of the UFC middleweight belt, made another bold statement. The 31-year-old fighter publicly challenged the reigning light heavyweight division champion Alex Pereira to a fight, which, according to his plan, should take place this summer right on the White House lawn.

In his post on the social network X, Chimaev did not hold back in his expressions: "Let's go, White House! Alex Pereira, don't worry, I'll finish you quickly. All Brazilian fans, tell this guy that if he's not afraid, let him fight me."

Remember, earlier Pereira's manager stated that he sees no point in a fight against Chimaev.
