Undefeated UFC welterweight Khamzat Chimaev said that the promotion tried to organize a fight for him four times, but each candidate refused to fight him.
Nobody wants to fight me. F** those guys. I've been offered a fight in four different countries against four different opponents. Nobody wants to accept it. I don't care what weight to fight in, I just want an opponent. I'm tired. Making a social media trash talk, that's not my thing. I'm the next contender for the belt, who else are they going to fight.
