Khamzat Chimaev says the UFC is protecting Israel Adesanya from him
Khamzat Chimaev is one of the most feared fighters in the UFC currently. His dominant fighting style has made him such a force to reckon with, that it is difficult for him to get opponents who are willing to take him on. In a recent video, he spoke about how the organization is protecting Israel Adesanya by not letting Chimaev fight him for the title:
"Fans, they want to see me and Israel. Yeah, I'm a bad matchup for him. Everyone knows he's going to lose the title that's why they save that guy. They built him up, they don't want to lose him like that. Fast finish that guy without punches and that's why they're scared. Then the story's dead you know. They don't want to kill that guy."
Take a look at the video:
Khamzat Chimaev claims he is willing to take on any fighter in the organization and is asking for a title shot against Israel Adesanya. 'The Last Stylebender' recently won his belt back from Alex Pereira in April this year. So Chimaev believes they don't want him to lose again so they are not letting the Russian fight the champion.
