Khamzat Chimaev had to be restrained by his teammates after getting into a heated altercation with UFC rival Paulo Costa.
Chimaev, who fights Nate Diaz this Saturday at UFC 279, is finishing off his training camp at the UFC's Performance Institute in Las Vegas. Costa has been sharpening up his grappling skills after beating Luke Rockhold last month by working with Diaz's teammate and former UFC title challenger, Jake Shields.
Whilst Costa was grappling with Shields, Chimaev could be seen watching on from outside of the cage. The Chechen, who was accompanied by several of his teammates, then asked Costa: "Did you say you want to f*** me up?" to which Costa replied: "I want to fight you, do you want to fight me?" Chimaev became irate and then had to be held back by his training partners, as he said: "I want to f*** you up now p**** boy. Brazilian p*****.
