UFC head on Khamzat Chimaev's readiness for a title fight: there will be a completely different game in the top 5

Head of the Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) Dana White doubts that Khamzat Chimayev is ready for the title fight after four fights under the auspices of the promotion. He spoke about this during a press conference after UFC 268, reports Sherdog.com.

White warned the Swedish fighter of Chechen origin. “I understand everything: this guy just smashes people. But when you get into the top 10, the top 5 – I am not even talking about the champion – a completely different game begins. Chimaev is a couple of victories from the title fight. Let him beat two of the best fighters in the division, then we'll see, “said the head of the UFC.

White previously spoke of his readiness to organize a duel between Chimaev and American Nate Diaz. The latter was skeptical about this idea, posting a meme on social networks.

Chimaev won four victories in a row in the UFC. In his last fight, he forced the Chinese Li Jingliang to surrender. He completed all the fights within the framework of the promotion ahead of schedule.

Chimaev is a fighter of Chechen origin. On account of his ten victories in ten fights. Before joining the UFC, he fought in Brave FC.
