After debuting in the UFC in 2020, Khamzat Chimaev has amassed a large number of enemies in MMA. Following his becoming middleweight champion (up to 83,9 kg) in August in Chicago (USA), the Russian fighter has been expanding his list of rivals with each passing day. Recently, 'Borz', out of nowhere, attacked Alex Poatan and Glover Teixeira , and now he has turned against three other big names in the sport.

During a live Q&A session with his fans, Chimaev didn't hold back in his criticism of Conor McGregor , Khabib Nurmagomedov , and Nate Diaz . When asked about what a fight against the trio would be like, the UFC champion mocked the veterans, who are in their 40s. It's worth noting that, despite being Russian, Khamzat is not part of the same group as 'The Eagle' and Islam Makhachev and has already taken jabs at the MMA legend. Furthermore, 'Borz' also frequently exchanges barbs with the Irish star and is a declared rival of the American 'bad boy'.

“That’s the oldest question of all. Khabib is finished. He doesn’t fight anymore. Why are you saying these things? He (Nate) is on drugs, he’s finished. Put him in rehab. Send him to Chechnya. Chimaev vs. McGregor? McGregor is too old. He’s finished. Salam Alaikum (Peace be upon you),” said the UFC champion.
