Ideal opponent for Chimaev named

Former mixed-style (MMA) fighter Chale Sonnen speculated about potential rivals of Chechen-born Swede Khamzat Chimaev. The full video is available on Sonnen’s YouTube channel.

The 44-year-old expert admitted that he was impressed by the performance of American Sean Brady at the Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) tournament, where he defeated Michael Chiesa in the welterweight division. According to Sonnen, the athlete has rare strength and power for his weight.

“I have rarely met people who are so much stronger than you that it is discouraging. In fact, only twice in a lifetime. One of them is Georges Saint-Pierre, ”said Sonnen. He drew attention to the fact that after the victory, Brady did not name the opponent with whom he would like to fight next. According to the expert, Brady did not expect success from himself in the duel with Chiesa. However, later the American challenged Chimaev to battle. Sonnen is convinced that this is the perfect confrontation.

Chimaev won four UFC victories. He spent three fights in 66 days, which became a record for the organization. Chimaev has repeatedly challenged the stars of the promotion. One of the fighters who expressed interest in the fight with the Chechen is Neil Magni.

Brady has never lost an MMA match. On his account a series of 15 victories.
