Nick Maximov blasts ‘b*tch made’ Khamzat Chimaev, would love to fight Bo Nickal

LAS VEGAS – Nick Maximov wants a piece of two of the most talked about names in the UFC.

Maximov (8-1 MMA, 2-1 UFC), a training partner of Nate Diaz, witnessed the whole fiasco during UFC 279 fight week in which Diaz went from fighting Khamzat Chimaev to Tony Ferguson.

The shuffle happened because Chimaev (12-0 MMA, 6-0 UFC) came in 7.5 pounds over the welterweight limit and Maximov thinks “Borz’s” attitude was inexcusable. If Chimaev moves back up to 185 pounds, Maximov welcomes a fight with him.
