UFC welterweight star Khamzat Chimaev has not entered the cage in a minute. The lack of competition is frustrating for the Chechen fighter and his emotions have spilled over. In a series of recent tweets, ‘The Wolf’, made some bold statements, expressing his issues with the prolonged inactivity.

Chimaev last entered the octagon at UFC 279 against Kevin Holland. He was initially supposed to fight Nate Diaz in the main event. However, he fumbled the opportunity as he missed weight by a large margin. Since then, many have doubted Chimaev’s reliability at the 170 lbs division.

Many fans assumed Chimaev entered Dana White‘s bad book after the UFC 279 debacle. Many of them are associating his current hiatus with the very same factor. Now, Chimaev has stepped forward with some claims to clear up his side of the story.

In a recent tweet, he called out top stars like Kamaru Usman, Israel Adesanya, Leon Edwards, and Colby Covington, expressing his willingness to fight any of them. In another, he called out the UFC for the lack of opportunities. His comments have incited a few reactions from the fans as well.

Fans had a few comments of their own regarding Chimaev’s tweets. They shared them under a Reddit post discussing the same.

• He’s punishing him for the Nate fight f*ck up
• People finding out that 9/10 things Dana say is full of sh*t eh
• The UFC is always really weird with fights. Half the time it’s “ the kid doesn’t wanna fight” and then the other half it’s “ nobody wants to fight this guy” when all you see is the fighters saying I’ve accepted this many fights and called out all these fights but the UFC won’t give them to me
• UFC didn’t like what he did for a big card and now he wonders why they sh*t on him…
• That was a one time thing. They shouldn’t punish him for over a year. He should get a second chance to make welterweight like everyone else who misses weight. The ufc is holding him back
• Fr tho, wtf are they doing with Khamzat? He’s in a type of limbo that I haven’t seen a fighter in for a while.
• Honestly so much drama in the UFC stems from Dana, I’m starting to think he’s creating it on his own to draw attention, get fighters to tweet and use it for marketing. The McMahon of actual combat sports
