Khamzat Chimaev replied to Sean Strickland and Dricus Du Plessis

No. 9 ranked UFC middleweight prospect Hamzat Chimaev responded to middleweight title contenders Sean Strickland and Dricus Du Plessis, who said the Chechen fighter doesn’t deserve to fight the winner of their rivalry.

“They have a fight coming up but they’re both thinking about me – didn’t realize they were so scared of me,” “Borz” wrote on social media.

Chimaev also published a photo with a hare caught on the hunt.

“Dipilsi,” the fighter commented on the photo.

A few days earlier, undefeated Khamzat Chimaev announced that the management of the world’s strongest league had promised him a fight with the winner of the title fight between Sean Strickland and Dricus Du Plessis to headline UFC 297 in Toronto on January 20.

Chimaev last stepped into the octagon last October at UFC 294 in Abu Dhabi, defeating former UFC welterweight champion Kamara Usman by majority judge’s decision over three rounds.
