Ikram Aliskerov claims Khamzat Chimaev misunderstood his recent comments.
Aliskerov was recently asked about a potential rematch with Khamzat Chimaev on short notice. With Chimaev being the champion, Aliskerov said it would be foolish to turn down a title fight. Chimaev fired back at Aliskerov for calling for a rematch. “Borz” argued that he is accused of being anti-ethnic when he calls for fights with Dagestanis, but the same doesn’t apply to Dagestanis like Aliskerov.
Aliskerov defeated Jun Yong Park at UFC 321 this past weekend in Abu Dhabi.
