“You Shouldn’t Talk About It Publicly” – Khamzat Chimaev Criticised for Breaking Unspoken MMA Rule by UFC Legend

Khamzat Chimaev is #3 in the UFC welterweight division. He has come out a fair distance in his career without losing a fight. Chimaev has always looked like a champion to his fans but he hasn’t had a lot of opportunities to fight. Chimaev had recently talked about how he had been forced to submit Light Heavyweight champion Jiri Pochazka during training. The fighter had earlier called out middleweight champion Alex Pereira too. While not much has come from Pereira’s side, Jiri Prochazka made it clear that he didn’t like the way Chimaev shared gym information in public and has sent a strong worded message to Chimaev.

Analysing the situation UFC Legend Michael Bisping felt Chimaev was wrong in divulging past details about a present champion. Bisping however, mentioned that he can’t say much about it since he himself was once doing similar stuff. Bisping credited the rivalry between him and Luke Rockhold to similar statements that he once made.

Jiri Prochazka isn’t taking Chimaev’s words lightly

Michael Bisping quoted the words that Jiri Prochazka had in response to Chimaev’s claim. Prochazka had said, “This information is four years old gym information inside information man. When we will meet, next time in a cage and I will show you my true power” Michael Bisping said that was not a good thing to do from Chimaev.

Expressing his views on the situation. Bisping said, “You shouldn’t tap and tell if you submit somebody. You shouldn’t talk about it publicly because it’s just training”. He further added, “I can’t say anything because I’ve done it myself okay that is what started the whole rivalry with myself Luke Rockhold and that’s why I know that doing this is probably a bad idea”

Michael Bisping recounts his rivalry with Luke Rockhold

This is not the first time training partners have divulged secrets from the Gym that have not sat well with others. Bisping himself has been guilty. ‘The Count’ recounted how he had come out the winner in a sparring session against Rockhold but never talked about it. Things, however, turned bad when Bisping made a subtle joke about the win talking on a TV show. This infuriated Rockhold. He started a war of words which climaxed in a title fight between Michael Bisping and Luke Rockhold.

Michael Bisping won the fight, but has Khamzat Chimaev bitten a little too much to chew calling out Jiri Prochazka? Fans would like to see the two settle it out in the cage. Who do you think will win when these two fight? Let us know.
