“I Can Put You Under the Cage Brother”- Khamzat Chimaev Sends a Chilling Warning to Stephen Thompson

In just a few years at the UFC, Swedish grappler Khamzat Chimaev has amassed an unmatched following and fame for himself. The 27-year-old is currently #11 on the UFC charts and wants to go even further.

A retirement scare early in 2021 may have derailed the Khamzat Chimaev hype-train for a brief amount of time. However, the Swede got back on track and seemed even better than before, as he showcased a bewildering performance against Li Jingliang on his comeback.

Now, the ‘Lone Wolf’ wants to repeat the feat, and this time, he has chosen Stephen ‘Wonderboy’ Thompson as his prey.

In a video on his YouTube channel, Chimaev sent a chilling warning to ‘Wonderboy’ for attempting to call a fight against him.

“And who more? Belal and who, this guy, other guy, Karate guy? [Stephen] Thompson, yeah, he lost. He said, ‘maybe I am gonna fight with him in the future’. Brother, are you sure? Your skills, your level is like weak,” Chimaev said.

“If Belal hold you down, I can put you under the cage brother. I don’t know how these guys think they will win against me. Ten fights ten finishes and I didn’t lose one second in the fights. I beat everybody. These guys don’t know I am coming for them. Real money is here Dana White. They know that,” ‘Borz’ continued.

While answering the question, ‘Wonderboy’ said that Chimaev was a ‘scary guy‘ and that they will certainly fight someday.
