Chimaev on comparisons with Conor and Khabib: “Muslim McGregor? I aspire to be Khamzat”

Khamzat Chimaev spoke about comparisons with Conor McGregor and Khabib Nurmagomedov

UFC fighter Khamzat Chimaev spoke about his attitude to comparisons with Conor McGregor and Khabib Nurmagomedov. Earlier, the founder of the American Top Team Hall, Dan Lambert, called Chimaev a Muslim McGregor.

“I am the Muslim Khamzat Chimaev,” Chimaev said in an interview with Hustle MMA. – This is the same as saying: an Orthodox Muslim. What did he even say? I am Khamzat and I aspire to be Khamzat, not Conor or Khabib [Нурмагомедовым]”.

Chimaev has 10 victories in 10 fights. Brazilian Gilbert Burns could be his next opponent. If he wins, Chimaev will fight for the UFC welterweight title.
