Hamzat Chimaev promised to beat Alex Pereira in a minute
The Swede hasn't had a fight in a long time.
Swedish UFC welterweight Hamzat Chimaev has repeatedly complained about the lack of opponents and the league's inability to find them for him.
In order not to stagnate in his development, the athlete himself challenges potential opponents from time to time.
This time it was Alex Pereira, the Brazilian middleweight champion, to whose division Hamzat could move.
"I could beat Pereira even right now. I'll take him in a minute or I'll smash his face in. I'll take my money and just leave," the athlete wrote on his social networks.
However, Pereira himself has nothing to do with Chimeyev. Already on April 8th he has a rematch with Israel Adesanya, whom he stole the title from last year.
