” Have you seen him fight? Adesanya stated to his manager. Ill see him battle probably this weekend and Ill make my assessment.
” Have you seen him combat? The rat lip?” Adesanya said to his supervisor. “Tim said he might have fought lower level of competitors so far. Thats what Tim stated. Fair enough. Ill see him battle most likely this weekend and Ill make my assessment. So he thinks Im a simple battle? Thats interesting. Everyone does this when theyre coming up [ just talking] casting a wide internet. Keep casting.”
Adesanya hasnt watched Chimaev yet however his manager Tim Simpson was in the same room with him throughout the interview and he offered his viewpoint to “The Last Stylebender.”
Unbeaten prospect Khamzat Chimaev has actually made rather a splash since first arriving in the UFC in July when he contended in back-to-back fights inside 10 days while selecting up a pair of dominant triumphes. He followed that up with a sensational 17-second, one-punch knockout at UFC Vegas 11 when Chimaev planted Gerald Meerschaert on the mat at UFC Vegas 11.
” Hes just casting his internet. It is what hes doing. I havent in fact seen him fight yet.”
” If I do my effort, nobodys a challenge for,” Chimaev stated when inquired about Adesanaya and UFC welterweight champ Kamaru Usman at the UFC Vegas 11 post-fight press conference. “Im going to stop both guys.”
” I do not even know the guy,” Adesanya said throughout an interview with Yahoo! Sports. “I havent seen his battles yet however I know I simply saw the presser and he was on Cowboy [Donald Cerrone] and everyone simply talking sh * t.
Since first arriving in the promo, UFC president Dana White has actually called Chimaev the most “special” professional athlete hes seen in 20-plus years in fight sports.
UFC middleweight champion Israel Adesanya is constantly keeping his eye on competitors coming for his title but he still hasnt had a possibility to take an appearance at the most recent superstar gunning for the gold.
While Chimaev is really a natural welterweight, hes now 2-0 at 185 pounds in the UFC and hes specifically discussed that he thinks a battle with Adesanya would be a simple night at the workplace for him.
” I dont even understand the guy,” Adesanya stated during an interview with Yahoo! I havent in fact seen him battle yet.”
For his part, Adesanya hasnt seen any of Chimaevs three performances in the UFC and it appears hes not losing any sleep over the prospective match up until he sees the Chechen born fighter beat some top competitors initially.
Thinking about Chimaevs attitude with battling as often as possible, it appears like its only a matter of time before he ultimately crosses courses with Adesanya inside or outside the octagon.
