Reigning Ultimate Fighting Championship middleweight king Khamzat Chimaev has drawn the ire of former light heavyweight ace Glover Teixeira, for recent comments made towards current 205-pound ruler Alex Pereira, a pupil of Teixeira.
In a viral social media post, Chimaev recently claimed that he would beat both Teixeira and Periera on the same night, getting quite a reaction out of the former UFC champion. Teixeira was on camera hitting the bag when the person filming asked if he was training for a fight against Chimaev, to which the retired Brazilian responded that the middleweight needs to focus on “Poatan” before worrying about anything else, although his team is focused on securing a fight with superstar Jon Jones.
