Khamzat Chimaev Unhappy With Dana White for Not Delivering Promised Title Shot

[Killer Kadoogan]

Kamzhat was today years old when he learned that Dana / UFC doesn't always uphold their end of the deal. Time to wake up Kamzhat.

Khamzat Chimaev wants the title shot that was allegedly promised to him by Dana White.




Chimaev moved up to middleweight this past October, welcoming Kamaru Usman to the division on short notice at UFC 294.

“Borz” went on to score a tightly-contested majority decision win over the former welterweight champ. While the outing marked only his third middleweight win under the Ultimate Fighting Championship banner, the Chechen claims to have been guaranteed a title shot by the UFC CEO for his next outing.


Chimaev was expecting to face the winner of Sean Strickland vs. Dricus Du Plessis at UFC 297 on Saturday. However, Du Plessis called out Israel Adesanya after dethroning Strickland and “The Last Stylebender” has also expressed interest in that bout.

While “Borz” still hasn’t given up hope of fighting for the title next, he made clear that he isn’t happy with recent developments.

“They promised me after Usman fight, ’You will for sure going to fight for the title,' and I win that fight,” he told ESPN. “I don’t know what’s going on. I heard Dana White say stuff like ‘I don’t think Khamzat is next for the title.’ That’s bulls—t man.

“If you promised me something, you have to answer for your words. I’m the guy who always answers for my words, so I don’t care if it’s some president or somebody, like a king. If you give me your word, you have to answer for that. So, I grow up, when I give word, you have to answer for it… We’re doing that. I will be happy to answer for my words about killing them man, so we’ll see. Maybe in the USA it’s a different mentality.

This was the second title shot he was promised. That's twice the UFC has fucked him.

 

[Mike]

He doesn't deserve a shot.

 

[CC27]

Khamzat gets the 300 fight vs DDP, gets his ass kicked and then blames the loss on not being able to train properly due to Ramadan.

"Give me rematch when I'm 100 percent and I smesh him brother, i promise"

 

[Deceasedxo]

The simple fact is, if Khamzat is as good as he says he is and believes he's as good as he says he is. He should have no problem and should want to fight a ranked guy at MW or two to cement his title shot.

 

[Brit_Brawler]

Khamzat should know by now that nothing he or any of them are promised or lead to beleive mean anything.
Just look at aspinal right now. Dangled a fake belt at him to fight Sergei on weeks notice with no camp and all for nothing.
I get that he was scheduled to fight Costa and that's not his fault. He doesn't really deserve it at all but again he was dangled an imaginary title shot for taking usman Last minute
These guys really need to get something in writing. A contract that's air tight. Not Dana's word lmfao

 

[Bojka]

This was the second title shot he was promised. That's twice the UFC has fucked him.

He missed weight for the Nate fight and barely beat a WW at 185 with no camp. On top of that he almost never fights. [Vince McMahon voice]: Khamzat... fucked Khamzat.

 

[Elvis.]

I can’t believe that these guys accept a “promise” from Dana White , fuck that , I would ask for a contract, I would at least want him to say winner gets a title shot in public before the fight .
“Oh what’s that , you had a change of heart ?, what a coincidence you’re going to need a change of address too”

 

[flektarn]

Zero ranked MW wins.
lol.

It's not his fault he barely fights. UFC kept him for fighting for months after the Holland fight. He was ready way, way before they booked him against Usman.

A win is a win. He won, yet no title shot.

This is what people miss. They seem to think Khamzat is getting fight contracts sent to him and he's turning them down left and right.

Guy has been badly sick, then injured, then sick again. Plus the past year, the fucking idiots at the UFC kept him from fighting the whole year because they wanted him on the Abu Dhabi card.

 

[Bowel-forged Stool]

I thought he was sitting his prime out with the sniffles. Damn, get the guy a fight so he can be chinned / cut already

 

[93confirmed]

He's tiring at this point. Very inactive, ducked Costa hard, barely beat Usman and Burns and thinks he's the GOAT.

 

[spooNN]

Go earn it. Beat at least 1 top 5 guy.

 

[Kowboy On Sherdog]

if you read between the lines, he talks about lower ranked nobodies calling him out and it didnt make sense.

it sounds like he was being offered other fights, but he's only looking for dricus/adesanya or the winner.

This was the second title shot he was promised. That's twice the UFC has fucked him.

 

[podsox]

If Paulo costa didn’t exist, khamzat would win the award for fake callouts

 

[podsox]

Ufc never giving him a shot confirmed

I think Dana did intend to skip over Chimaev temporarily, but since DDP won't be ready, he'll probably let Chimaev fight for an interim belt.

 

[AfroBanana]

Khamzat essentially had the same thing happen as DDP. He had the UFC willing to give him the next crack and he couldn’t make the date. He seems to be really good at blowing these chances. Missed weight when he had a guaranteed shot and needed “more time” with the next shot. He’s becoming high risk. Now they have probably the only fight that they would skip Khamzat over for in Izzy / DPP which has more background. Worst outcome for Khamzat, you snooze you lose now earn your shot and actually fight a semi contender or something.

 

[fica]

Now, just to make sure this is all out there and accurate. Did Dana publicly state that Khamzat would get a title shot for beating Usman?

Cuz if it was some backstage speak, or if Dana said Khamzat would get the shot with a win  before Costa was replaced then I could see Khamzat just being confused.

Sure doesn't deserve one though, so let's be worried about those Dana White Promises(tm)

how he does not deserve jj got his tite fight iin hw with out fighing anybody beforre the champion fight
