American mixed style fighter (MMA) Kamaru Usman assessed the likelihood of a duel against Chechen-born Swede Khamzat Chimaev. An excerpt from the press conference of the Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) tournament was published on the YouTube channel TheMacLife.
The reigning UFC champion noted that he is not worried about the fact that the promotion gives Chimaev more opportunities. “Yes, life is not fair. We learn this simple truth as a child. Someone has to fight from a dozen fights to the title, someone is deliberately “promoted”. This is normal, ”Usman said.
The fighter also named the condition under which he will consider a fight with Chimaev. According to Usman, a clash with a Chechen in the octagon should “make sense” for a fighter in his status. “It was not easy for me now. I haven’t seen my own daughter for nine weeks. Yes, Facetime partly solves the problem, but does not solve it. I don’t know how long I will be able to do all this at all, ”Usman said.
On November 6, Usman will have a second fight against compatriot Colby Covington. The American holds the UFC welterweight belt. Chimaev performs in the middle and welterweight categories.
Chimaev has already won four UFC victories. He spent the first three bouts in 66 days. Previously, the Chechen performed under the auspices of Brave FC. In total, he had ten fights in his professional career and won each of them.
