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.
Khamzat Chimaev, quoted by MMA Junkie
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.
Earlier, Khamzat Chimaev expressed his desire to hold his next fight on March 5 at the UFC 285 tournament in Las Vegas.
At UFC 279 in September, Chimaev defeated Kevin Holland by first-round choke. In April of this year at UFC 273, Khamzat defeated Gilbert Burns by unanimous decision. The 28-year-old Chimaev has 12 wins and no losses under his belt.
