UFC light heavyweight champion Alex Pereira threw some shade at Khamzat Chimaev after the undefeated Chechen monster called for a title fight against the newly crowned king of 205.
Despite not having a single win over a top 10 opponent at middleweight or light heavyweight, Chimaev has been pushing hard for a title opportunity. After getting passed up for a shot at Sean Strickland’s 185-pound crown, ‘Borz’ turned his attention toward Pereira who is fresh off his second-round knockout of Jiri Prochazka at UFC 295.
‘Borz’ took to social media, suggesting that the UFC CEO book him as Pereira’s first title challenger. “@danawhite let me finish him,” Chimaev wrote.

Pereira decided to mock Chimaev’s pandering via a clip from the iconic martial arts film Kung Fu Hustle where the protagonist calls out potential challengers for a fight only to reject them upon seeing the danger they bring to the table.
