Khamzat Chimaev named his favorite fighters in the UFC

The rising star of the largest MMA promotion, Khamzat Chimaev, named UFC fighters, whose fights he is waiting for with special interest.

“I really like T. J. Dillashaw,” the Chechen fighter said in an interview with UFC Russia. “I like to watch Khabib’s fights, because we have similar wrestling and grappling with him. I also like Yoel Romero – I’m waiting for his fights. And Demetrius Johnson, although he is no longer in the UFC, I also like his fights. I really like to follow these fighters»

Recall that 26-year-old Khamzat Chimaev, who already has two early wins in the UFC, will hold the next fight on September 19 at the UFC Fight Night 178 tournament in Las Vegas against American Middleweight Gerald Mershart, and if successful in this confrontation, in a few weeks he will fight against top Welterweight Demian Maia.

Sergey Kharitonov spoke about the fight against Magi Ismailov

Russian heavyweight Sergey Kharitonov is ready to consider the possibility of a fight against Magomed Ismailov, and believes that this confrontation is of more interest than a likely rematch against Alexander Emelianenko.

“I think we would have had a good, spectacular fight with Maga,” Kharitonov said in an interview with Sport24. “I don’t think that everything would be easy for me, it would be a good confrontation, but there is reliable information that Alexander, a week before the fight, instead of tuning in to the fight and preparing, consumed alcoholic beverages»

“I consider all the proposals – whether I agree or not, this is another story. There will be a decent offer, decent conditions – why not? Today, this is a loud confrontation for Russia, although I treat Maga well – he is a normal guy. Cheerful, friendly, but if there is a good offer, I am ready. We’ll have a good fight. At the moment, this is more interesting than the fight with Alexander»

Recall that today Sergey Kharitonov will make his professional Boxing debut, and his opponent will be 47-year-old American Danny Williams, known for knocking out Mike Tyson 16 years ago.
