Former UFC welterweight title contender Jorge Masvidal, returning to the octagon in less than two weeks, shared his opinion on Khamzat Chimaev, who currently ranks third in the welterweight rankings, but plans to continue his career in the middleweight category.
“I saw a comment by Khamzat Chimaev where he called Alex Pereira. Who the fuck are you anyway? ”, – said the former street fighter in the next issue of the MMA Hour program. “This is the world champion, and you don’t have a single win in the top 15 middleweight. You can’t fail the weigh-in by eight and a half pounds and demand a title fight. Fight first, talk later, but for now, shut up! Gilbert Burns, whom he narrowly defeated by split decision, I’ll just bury.”
Recall that the fight between Jorge Masvidal and Gilbert Burns will be the second most important event of the UFC 287 tournament, which will be held on April 8 in Miami, and Khamzat Chimaev, according to rumors, will meet with former UFC middleweight champion belt contender Paulo Costa in October.
