UFC President Dana White recently posted a video on Instagram promoting his new slap-fighting company, PowerSlap. A user on the platform commented on his post asking for a match between undefeated Khamzat Chimaev and former middleweight champion, Robert Whittaker. White gave a cheeky reply to that user’s comment.

Khamzat Chimaev is in search of a fight. He claimed on social media that nobody wants to fight him. And fans are clamoring for a match between the Russian-born Swedish fighter and Robert Whittaker. Both fighters have maintained cordial relationships with each other. Chimaev even stated that he’d rather train than fight with Whittaker.

Many believe that Khamzat vs Whittaker is one of the most interesting bouts in MMA today. Chimaev was offered to different fighters, but none of them wanted to go face-to-face against him according to ‘Borz’. Robert Whittaker is a bona fide mixed martial artist and is a former UFC middleweight champion.
