Khamzat Chimaev has doubled down on his call-out of UFC middleweight champion Israel Adesanya after his latest title defence.
Adesanya made the fifth defence of his 185lb title at UFC 276 last weekend by outpointing top contender Jared Cannonier in a one-sided fight. Fans started to get restless come the final round of the title clash with many leaving the T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas before the final bell.
Chimaev has previously expressed his desire to become the first-ever three-weight UFC champion, having already picked up wins at welterweight and middleweight in the promotion. The Chechen is unranked at 185lb but called for a fight with Adesanya after the conclusion of UFC 276.
