Khamzat Chimaev’s reply to Jorge Masvidal

The notable UFC Welterweight, Jorge Masvidal, didn’t take Khamzat Chimaev’s words too well. Recently, the known Welterweight, Khamzat Chimaev, gave out his opinion on the current UFC Middleweight king, Alex Pereira. However, ‘Borz’s’ words rather carried a hostility towards ‘Poatan’. Chimaev iterated that he could get the better of Pereira with his superior wrestling skills.

However, ‘Gamebred’ felt that ‘Borz’ lacked respect in his words for the Middleweight champ. He bashed Chimaev, stating, “This is the world champion and you don’t even have a f**king win over a top-15 guy”. He also stated, “You can’t miss weight by 8.5 pounds and call for title shots”.

But, ‘Borz’ wasn’t the kind of person to take it all quietly. He too responded to Masvidal with a comment on his Instagram account, “He is no longer a gangster talking about weights gangsters no matter what weight he fights”.

Many fans might say that this altercation might be the start of a new rivalry between the two. However, Chimaev will have to stay in Welterweight if this rivalry commences.
