Khamzat Chimaev pulls out of fight with Alex Pereira at UFC 283
At least that's what the champion claims.
Swedish top UFC light heavyweight Khamzat Chimaev has repeatedly expressed his desire to fight for the title with the new middle division champion Brazilian Alex Pereira.
However, until the fight takes place, and, as the Brazilian fighter himself claims, this is definitely not his fault.
“I heard Chimaev’s call and turned to the leadership of the league to arrange a light heavyweight limit fight for us at UFC 283,” Pereira said.
Subsequently, he was explained that the Swedish fighter for some reason refused to participate in this fight.
