All things considered, Dana White doesn’t think Khamzat Chimaev had a bad fight week for UFC 279.
Chimaev was on many headlines last week ahead of his return to the octagon, and not all, were positive ones – at least according to some. Yet, despite all the things that went down in the days ahead of the UFC pay-per-view in Las Vegas, White is still very high on the unbeaten contender.
“It was a nutty week, I mean, the whole week was nutty in every way that it could possibly be nutty, but I wouldn’t say by any stretch that it was a bad week for Khamzat Chimaev,” White said at a press conference following Dana White Contender Series 54 on Tuesday. “He came in, and you all know what I think about Kevin Holland and what I think about him as a person and as a fighter, and God damn, Khamzat made that looked easy and very quick. He’s an absolute beast.”
