After defeating Gilbert Durinho in an electrifying 'war', Khamzat Shimaev provoked the Brazilian fighter.

“I made him famous. The guy was nothing before me. I made him famous, he lost the fight and was happier. I was angry after that fight, I won the fight. I was angry because I didn't break up with that guy. I don't understand that some guys are happy when they lose a fight. He goes everywhere giving interviews and saying, 'I'll fight him again'. Yes, we will fight, whenever he wants. But he will never be champion, because if you are happy when you lose a fight, you will never be champion. He said, 'Five rounds, I can win this fight.' If you look at him in the last seconds of the fight, if he can fight five rounds, why did he look at the time, running away from me? I was running after him for the last two minutes, I was tired. If there were two more rounds, I would finish him,” said Chimaev.
Undefeated in professional MMA with 11 victories, Chimaev continues to crush the opponents that the UFC puts in front of him since his signing in July 2020. After beating Gilbert Durinho last June, the Swede will measure forces against the veteran Nate diaz, in the main fight of the UFC 279, scheduled for September 10th. The card will be held at the T-Mobile Arena, in Las Vegas (USA).
