A fight between Conor McGregor and one the UFC's most exciting rising stars has been mooted. But a gobsmacking interview has revealed why it won't happen! 9WWOS
Chimaev, who fights at welterweight and middleweight, has been rated "special" byfollowing an undefeated start to his professional career. His most recent win came at UFC Fight Night 178 when he brutally knocked out Gerald Meerschaert in 17 seconds of the first round. The victory set a record for the fastest fighter to get three wins under the UFC banner in the shortest amount of time .
Even though White doesn't want to throw the MMA star to the wolves at the start of his career, Chimaev's manager Ali Abdelaziz believes the up and comer will "mop the floor" with whoever's put in front of him. "A fight like that with someone who has a big name, of course, you will take the fight. But Khamzat will really put Conor in a wheelchair."
In the last year or so, the controversial star was caught on video punching an old man in a pub in Ireland, arrested for smashing a fan's phone and reportedly accused of another sexual assault.
