Khamzat Chimaev claims he has accepted a fight with middleweight champion Alex Pereira for UFC 282 on December 10.
Pereira won the 185lb belt by stopping Israel Adesanya in the final round at UFC 281 earlier this month. It was his third victory over the Nigerian having triumphed twice during their respective kickboxing careers.
He has now been called out by Chimaev who tweeted: "December 10, let’s go, i already agreed. Now it’s your turn." Pereira has yet to respond but is unlikely to accept such a fight at three weeks' notice, while the UFC has already announced the UFC 282 main event. between Jiri Prochazka and Glover Teixeira who meet in a rematch for the light-heavyweight title.
