Coach wants Khamzat Chimaev vs. Alex Pereira next, could make 185 ‘no problem’
Khamzat Chimaev before his catchweight fight against Kevin Holland at UFC 279.With a lack of opponents on the horizon, Allstars Training Center head coach Andreas Michael has suggested that Khamzat Chimaev’s next fight should be at middleweight.
Michael suggested a title shot against Alex Pereira, who captured the middleweight title with a fifth-round TKO of Israel Adesanya a UFC 281.
The Swedish coach believes it would be an “amazing fight” and that Khamzat, who has struggled to make welterweight in the past, would have no problem making weight.
