Khamzat Chimaev won’t respond to every callout

Michael Andreas gave a very simple explanation of why the Chechen fighter had no need to respond to every call out he got. Talking to Shkuratov, Andreas said, “everyone’s calling out the Khamzat. I know he’s probably the money fight now. Like so we don’t take a lot of that serious like no we don’t take anything of that serious to be honest with you. Because if the top dogs took all the call out seriously, then he said they’ll be like it has to make sense.”
