Confessed fan of Khamzat Shimaev, Dana White used the provocation to try to find a new opponent for his pupil. In an interview with 'The Jim Rome Podcast', the president of Ultimate 'poked' the organization's athletes by revealing the difficulties in finding someone willing to share the octagon with the Swede, who is undefeated both in the UFC and in his career.

“No one wants to fight the Khamzat Shimaev. I don't blame them, but at the end of the day, you're a professional fighter, that's what you do,” said White, in an excerpt transcribed by 'Sexto Round'.

The provocation didn't stop there. Dana followed his argument. According to the UFC president, a fight against Chimaev should not be seen as a dangerous commitment, but rather a great opportunity.

“You must be a guy with so much hyping and as much bravado as Chimaev, and see a huge opportunity. But yes. The guys are all scared of Chimaev”, he concluded.

Undefeated in four UFC fights, Khamzat continues collecting victims and looking for commitments. After his last victory, when he passed li jingliang without even being touched, the Swede continues to challenge names on social media. So far, there is no confirmation about the next rival.
