Khamzat Chimaev went off on Ikram Aliskerov for verbally agreeing to a rematch.
Aliskerov was recently asked whether he would be open to a rematch against Chimaev. Aliskerov said he would be open to fighting Chimaev on two days’ notice, considering “Borz” is the champion.
“Of course, if they offered me a title fight, I’d be ready in two days,” Aliskerov said (via Championship Rounds). “… I don’t train with weak guys either. I’m always training, always in shape, always ready. If you’re an athlete with championship ambitions and you get offered a title fight, how could you say no?
