Khamzat Chimaev’s confidence knows no bounds.
During a recent Q&A session with fans, Chimaev was asked if he could beat Alex Pereira. Chimaev believes he can beat Pereira, along with the light heavyweight champion’s coach, Glover Texeira.
“Of course, brother,” Chimaev said. “I could beat him with his coach, Teixeira. With Teixeira, together brother. I’ll beat them both sometime.”
Chimaev’s (15-0) path to UFC championship glory was delayed due to a career plagued by illness. “Borz” finally clinched the middleweight title with a dominant unanimous decision win over Dricus Du Plessis at UFC 319 this past August.
