Khamzat Chimaev wants to beat Conor McGregor in race to win three UFC titles

UFC prospect Khamzat Chimaev has vowed to beat Conor McGregor in the race to become the first to win three world titles in the promotion.

The top welterweight contender has also picked up quick-fire wins at middleweight, easily finishing former BAMMA champions Rhys McKee and John Phillips before defeating promotional veteran Gerald Meerschaert and earning his ranking by putting away Li Jingliang last October.

And he is now promising to beat UFC legend McGregor to become a three-division world champion. The Irishman declared that he was planning on making history with a title fight against current reigning welterweight title holder Kamaru Usman when he returns to the octagon next year.
