Khamzat Chimaev has been a busy man on social media. The 26-year-old has shown that he is just as good with Twitter trash talk as he is a fighter. ‘Borz’ has been calling out anyone and everyone in and around his weight class to secure a fight. 

Most fighters have not replied to call-outs made by Chimaev. However, Darren Till is not one to back away from a bit of back and forth on Twitter. He said that he would gladly take on Chimaev once he is done with Jack Hermansson. This has caused a bit of back and forth between the two men on social media.
