When asked whether welterweight champion Kamaru Usman or middleweight champ Israel Adesanya would position the toughest test of his profession, Chimaev gave the sort of response that will likely make both guys sit up and take notification.
” Of course! Why not?” he asked. “I did effort for that. Im prepared. Both departments.”
” If I do my difficult work, no ones a difficulty for me,” he stated, with a smile. “Im going to stop both guys.”
Ultimately, however, Chimaev has his sights set on UFC titles– note the plural– and, despite only having three UFC fights to his name, “The Wolf” states hes prepared to hunt down the champions at both welterweight and middleweight.
