KHAMZAT CHIMAEV attacked Jorge Masvidal, and claimed Kamaru Usman had "almost sent" him to heaven in their rematch.
Chimaev is rising as one of UFC's most prominent stars, and has been invited to fight the greatest names.
Masvidal admitted that he was not impressed by the unbeaten Welterweight.
He stated, "I don’t think s*** about him." He doesn't know anyone he has fought. He has to fight some guys first.
"They (the UFC), talk big about everyone they think they can make money from. He can bring in the countries of Arabic that have a lot of wealth.
"I haven’t seen one man that he’s beaten yet and I’m like, okay, somebody was beaten up by him."
