Khamzat Chimaev has hardly been the darling of the UFC this past week - and he continued to play the part of the villain after choking out Kevin Holland in the first round.
Chimaev was due to fight Nate Diaz in the main event at UFC 279 but weighed in 7.5lb over the welterweight limit, leaving the promotion to scramble to put together a revised fight card. Chimaev made light work of Holland, choking him out inside three minutes, while Diaz submitted Tony Ferguson in the fourth round of their short-notice bout.
And after his win, Chimaev grabbed the microphone from Joe Rogan to respond to the crowd's jeers. "Hey, so what now, say something. This is Chechnya motherf******. I'm the most dangerous guy here, I've got guns for everyone, I'll kill everybody." Rogan then attempted to steer the interview to Chimaev's weight cut, but the Swede ranted: "I dont care about that s***, I'd kill that guy, I'll go through everybody. Let them come down, I'll give it to both guys, I'll fight both of them."
