Khamzat Chimaev says he will not fight at UFC 300.
With UFC CEO Dana White struggling to land a headliner for the historic show April 13 at T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas, Chimaev (13-0 MMA, 7-0 UFC) has ruled himself out of the event.
“The MMA Hour” host Ariel Helwani reported on Monday that the UFC’s top consideration was Chimaev against welterweight champion Leon Edwards in the main event but added that entry into the U.S. on Chimaev’s side is a hurdle. Chimaev shut down the speculation quickly, claiming he will not be on the card against Edwards or anyone else.
