Khamzat Chimaev is the newest sensation in the world of MMA. Since making his debut in the UFC in 2020, nobody has seen their stock rise as much as him. He recently broke into the top 10 of the welterweight division by beating Li Jingliang.

The Swede is always looking for a fight, as, according to him, he wants to smash everybody. Recently ‘Borz’ took to Twitter to call out the YouTubers-turned-boxers, Jake Paul and Logan Paul.

On his Twitter, he posted the photo of both of them alongside himself, and said, “I can smash this guys same night BOXING.”

YouTube star Jake Paul would not take the callout lightly and immediately had a response. Replying to the tweet, he said, “Listen Kumquat… you are just another UFC fighter pretending you can box. Sit down, shut up and pray you get paid fairly.”

Paul Brothers and Khamzat Chimaev- Can they collide?

Jake and Logan Paul have become two of the most popular and talked about boxers in the world. ‘The Problem Child’ is currently 4-0 in his professional boxing career and has wins over former UFC stars, Ben Askren and Tyron Woodley.

Jake’s last fight was a split decision win against Woodley. Logan’s last fight was an exhibition draw against Floyd Mayweather Jr.

Meanwhile, ‘Borz‘ is not just hyped anymore and is a special talent. He entered the UFC with a 6-0 record and has continued his undefeated run. His first two fights in the UFC took place in a span of just 10 days. In his third fight, he fought Gerald Meerschaert and knocked him out in just 17 seconds.

He was sidelined with COVID-19 symptoms for over a year and made his comeback last month at UFC 267, where he destroyed Li Jingliang.
