The popular Chechen fighter Khamzat Chimaev, who lost his place in the top three of the UFC welterweight rating, did not disregard the statement of the current division champion Leon Edwards, who spoke about his next fight.
“Honestly, I don’t care who I fight next. This whole division is easy work. King Leon,” the Briton wrote on the social network.
“You know who the king is here,” Chimaev replied, adding a wolf emoji to the comment.
On the eve of the “Borz” denied the statement of the President of the UFC, Dana White, who said that the fighter’s long downtime is due to his personal problems. According to Chimaev, he is ready to fight any top fighter in the middle and welterweight divisions, and is waiting for his next opponent to be named.
Leon Edwards will fight his next fight against Colby Covington, and if he can retain the title, his next defense will be against Belal Muhammad, who removed Khamzat Chimaev from the third line of the UFC welterweight rankings.
