Jorge Masvidal scoffs at UFC star Khamzat Chimaev: ‘You can’t miss weight and then call for a title shot’

Former two-time UFC welterweight title challenger, Jorge Masvidal has hit out at the undefeated division challenger, Khamzat Chimaev, criticizing the Chechen-born contender for calling for a title siege, off the back of a seven and a half pound weight miss in his last fight.

Masvidal, the #11 ranked welterweight contender, has been sidelined since March of last year, most recently headlining UFC 272 in a grudge match against former interim welterweight champion, Colby Covington – suffering a one-sided unanimous decision loss.

As for Chimaev, the AllStars MMA staple improved to 12-0 as a professional in his most recent Octagon walk – maintaining his #3 rank in the weight class after a submission win over Kevin Holland.
