Khamzat Chimaev recently offered fans some insight into his prospects in a fight against Canelo Alvarez. The Chechen welterweight declared that he would make short work of the Mexican boxer if they competed in an MMA fight by out grappling him.
While in conversation with Henry Cejudo and The Schmo on the Triple C and The Schmo Show, featuring Darren Till, 'Borz' was asked how he would fare against Canelo Alvarez inside the squared circle.
Chimaev admitted that he would never consider locking horns with a proficient boxer like Alvarez in his own territory. He displayed an admirable degree of self-awareness, admitting his shortcomings when it comes to striking. However, he declared that he could put Canelo Alvarez to sleep in 10 seconds.

"I never gonna do that because I understand how it works, you know?... Because, like, it's not my game. If he comes to my game, [Canelo Alvarez], if come here to UFC or he fights with me, I take 10 seconds, I'm gonna let him sleep, you know? You know what I'm saying, you know. The guy's never did wrestling, grappling, nothing, you know, ground and pound. These things, yeah, you can't do it."
