Here, ‘Bully B’ found the perfect moment to take a dig at his UFC colleague as he retweeted the post with the caption, “When Khabib doesn’t answer your calls….”

This reply was in context, as Khamzat Chimaev has publicly lauded ‘The Eagle’ Khabib Nurmagomedov on multiple occasions. So, to share a friendly photo of his arch-nemesis with himself seems to be overkill.

Notably, both the welterweights have been going at each other ever since ‘Remember The Name’ came out of his UFC Fight Night scrap against Stephen Thompson. Notably, Muhammad showcased a dominant performance as he took the fight to the ground early into the match and crushed ‘Wonderboy’ with his superior grappling skills.

Khamzat Chimaev calls Conor McGregor a Chicken

This particular post by Chimaev (10-0) comes as a shock to his fans as ‘Borz’ never leaves a chance to take a jibe at the Irishman. On one occasion, he also called McGregor a chicken in front of his friends.

This was during a sparring session in his gym, The AllStars Training Center, where Chimaev referred to one of his friends as Conor McGregor as he ‘loses’ like McGregor. However, ‘Borz’ didn’t like it as he wanted his friend to be more like himself.

In the video, we can hear Chimaev mocking McGregor. Here’s what he said, “You are trying to be like him. He loses like McGregor does. He acts like McGregor, I don’t know why. I told him, you should try to be like Khamzat Chimaev instead. I’m better, undefeated, undisputed champion. All weights brother. Man, McGregor is a chicken.”
