Having dealt with Kevin Holland in the first round, Khamzat Chimaev offered the American to train together, but the former opponent did not appreciate the friendly gesture of the Chechen fighter, responding to him with rudeness.
“Rather, the Universe will change, and we will all turn into cartoons – I’m not going to train with this guy,” the American said in the next edition of the MMA Hour program. “I have no idea why he even started talking about it. Maybe because I asked him how many times a week they work on wrestling. But I didn’t ask him to join the team, but I just wanted to steal the recipe for myself and my guys. I stay with my team, and I’m not going to train with others. My team, this is my team, so, no way in the world, thank you – catch two middle fingers!
Earlier, there was information that Kevin Holland, who agreed on a short notice to take the fight with Khamzat Chimaev at UFC 279 in Las Vegas, received an unprecedented fee of 800 thousand dollars for the fight with Borz. In addition, the American got the opportunity to head the UFC on ESPN 42 tournament, where he will face his compatriot Stephen Thompson.
