Khamzat Chimaev who was not raised by attack on Islam Makhachev despite the destructive comments from Ilia Topuria

When Ulli Topuria And Khamzat Chimaev Joined forces on the corner teammate Guram KutateladzeThe entire MMA community was surprised. They wondered how these two UFC stars knew each other and what their connection was. Well, it seems that Chimaev and Topuria are not really new friends because they have known each other for some time, and ‘Borz’ gave us an insight into their history during a recent interview.

The lightweight and middleweight title candidates have one thing in common in their professional career, and that is the fact that they both participated in Brave Combat Federation, based in Bahrain. It was then that the duo met and even trained together. It was then that Khamzat Chimaev realized that Ilia Topuria was intended to achieve great things, and that is exactly what the Georgian-Spaniard did.

“Naturally [I knew he would be a star]Even then he was already a top hunter in Brave FC. Just like me, we both fought in good, ” Khamzat Chimaev told Adam Zubayraev. “It was clear that he was a hard worker who wants to achieve something, and he achieved everything you can do in this sport.” (Translated by Red corner MMA))

Then Khamzat Chimaev spoke to a different aspect about Ilia Topuria, his so -called ‘stubborn’ personality. Recently, ‘el Matador’, following Dana Whiteannouncement that he will fight Charles Oliveira For the empty lightweight title on UFC 317, a rather unsavory remark about Islam Makhachev. Topuria claims. “It’s a shame that Makhachev ran away,” After the decision of Makhachev, the former featherweight champion stated to fight Maddalena Jack.

Well, this is not the only comment that Ilia Topuria made about Islam Makhachev. A few months ago, the hunter based in Alicante also trivialized the Dagestani thrust style. His comments and attitude often rub people in the wrong way, but Khamzat Chimaev claims that it is essential for a hunter to generate interest in their fighting in the mixed Martial Arts atmosphere. That is just one of those tactics, but apart from that, ‘Borz’ had nothing but pleasant words about his fellow ethuft.

“If fighters were quiet, there would be no such interest (in MMA),” Khamzat Chimaev added. “In normal life I met him, spent some time together, ate together. He is a decent, solid man.”

In the meantime, Ilia Topuria may have received his title shot as Dana White promised him, but he did not stop talking about the decision of Islam Makhachev to fight for the Welterweight title. In fact, the former Federweight Champion made a daring statement when he claimed that the inhabitant of Dagestan never wanted it in the first place. This is what he had to say.

According to Ex-Champ, Islam Makhachev did not want to fight Ilia Topuria

During a recent press conference, Ilia Topuria tore in the Islam Makhachev and called him a “hypocrite.” He said how the soon former lightweight champion follows the same blueprint that ‘El Matador’ has followed, with a search to become a double champion. But the fact that Makhachacthev has rejected a smaller man and now gets into the same shoes, Topuria annoys more than ever.

“He said he didn’t want to give me the chance because I was the little man, and now the little man is the one looking for the same chance that I was looking for. How are you going to criticize my decision if you do the same now? I have never seen hypocrisy in my life,” ” Topuria explained. He further cried the manager of Makhachev, Or Abdelasizask him “Thanks” He because he was not fighting against the resident of Dagestan because he could have lowered his stocks if Makhachev had lost that fight.

“He still has value, and any credibility is thanks to me. This was the fight that everyone wanted to see.” Claiming that Makhachev never wanted to fight him, Ilia Topuria added, “I was ready, I put everything I could on the table and they ran away, and from the start they never accepted the fight.” Well, it’s just a matter of time before we see who comes at the top when they fight in their respective title matchups.
