Meanwhile, Giga Chikadze didn’t hold back and replied to the fan with a cold face emoji, mocking his statement of being scared of the featherweight veteran. The fan clapped again back again Chikadze and asked him to fight the young Nigerian fighter Sodiq Yusuff, which was called off last year as ‘Ninja’ withdrew from the fight.

Chikadze called out Max Holloway in light of recent injuries to UFC fighters. ‘Ninja’ had his last few fights canceled due to his opponents getting injured. He was initially set to take on Chan Sung Jung in Seoul. But the fight was called off after the ‘Korean Zombie’ met with a shoulder injury.
