"First Time Ever." Chimaev Makes Unusual Proposal To UFC Management

UFC middleweight fighter Khamzat Chimaev published a post on social media addressing the promotion's executive director Dana White.

Chimaev will fight Robert Whittaker in the main event of UFC Saudi Arabia on June 22.

Previously, many fighters have stated that Khamzat needs to win in the first rounds, as he will not have enough strength for a five-round confrontation.

Chimaev, 29, last fought in October 2023 at UFC 294, defeating Kamaru Usman by majority decision. He has 13 wins and no losses on his record.

Whittaker, 33, last stepped into the octagon in February 2024 at UFC 298, defeating Paulo Costa by unanimous decision. He has 25 wins and seven losses under his belt.
