If he prevails over the most formidable fighter in the UFC at the moment, though, he will earn a title shot at Sean Strickland who defeated Israel Adesanya.
At the press conference, Chimaev said, "If you are the best how come you have lost two or three times? You are a good fighter but you are not at my level.

"You can't teach me anything you are too old for that. Be a coach in a gym, it is better for you, healthier for you."
