Khamzat Chimaev has laid down the challenge to Alex Pereira.<\/p>\n

On the main card of UFC 276, Pereira took on Sean Strickland inside the T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas, Nevada. Going into the bout, Strickland was the number four-ranked UFC middleweight, while Pereira wasn’t ranked at all.<\/p>\n

Pereira made a massive statement by knocking Strickland out in the first round<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Chimaev responded<\/a> to Pereira’s performance by calling him out on social media.<\/p>\n

https:\/\/twitter.com\/KChimaev\/status\/1543563090914119680<\/p>\n

“I want to fight with this guy @ufc @danawhite let\u2019s make it.”<\/em><\/p>\n

Pereira’s sole focus appears to be on UFC Middleweight Champion Israel Adesanya. Pereira has two kickboxing victories over “Izzy,” one of which was a brutal knockout.<\/p>\n

Speaking to TSN’s Aaron Bronsteter backstage at UFC 276, Pereira said he was not impressed<\/a> by “The Last Stylebender’s” successful title defense over Jared Cannonier.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhat really upsets me is to see the way that he fought tonight. A performance like that because it is a disrespect to the crowd. I saw thousands and thousands of people here, I couldn\u2019t even count how many and it\u2019s sad to see people booing like that during a title fight. People were leaving in round four like the fight was over. It really upsets me. So I hope he do a much better fight with me cause otherwise your screwed.\u201d<\/em>\u00a0\u2013 Alex Pereira said through his translator.<\/p>\n

Time will tell what the UFC ultimately decides to do with Pereira next. As for Chimaev, he’s likely due for a big welterweight bout next following a barn burner against Gilbert Burns.<\/p>\n

With “Borz” being closer than ever to a 170-pound title opportunity, it’s unlikely that he’ll be thrown in a middleweight bout next.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
