Khamzat Chimaev Targets UFC White House Event for 'Poatan' Fight

Khamzat Chimaev has a singular focus when it comes to his next desired opponent.

The reigning UFC middleweight champion continued his ongoing callout of light heavyweight kingpin Alex Pereira in a series of posts on social media. While the target is nothing new, this time Chimaev has a date and venue in mind for the matchup.

“Let’s go White House,” Chimaev wrote on X. “Don’t worry, I will finish you fast [Pereira].”
