A war of words has erupted between Khamzat Chimaev and Ikram Aliskerov on social media.
Idman.biz reports that MMA fighters Khamzat Chimaev and Ikram Aliskerov have exchanged statements on social media.
Ikram Aliskerov stated that even if it's short notice, he would accept a fight offer with Khamzat: "I can be ready in two days. I don't train against weak people; I always train with strong people. I am always in shape and ready to fight. If you have a championship goal, how can you say no to a title fight?"
Khamzat Chimaev responded harshly: "Why do people interview these fools? When I say I will fight a Dagestani, they portray it as an ethnic issue, but when they want to fight me, it's just sports. Stop the hypocrisy."
