@TheMaster called it yesterday as did many responders like myself. That was pure desperation by Chimaev but you can't blame him, he would have been lit up like a Christmas tree.
That's called desperation - his lack of self esteem is very evident. He's reacting based purely on ignorance because he lost many fans and he knows it. So, why not say F u to the crowd. I like it though, he's a really good fighter but he's very unprofessional.
No consequences? He's getting punished one way or the other. He was getting a title shot after a potential win over Diaz. Now he's set back, his lack of professionalism stinks and people aren't too happy about his smug attitude after his own damn failure to make weight.
To be honest, yes he should get the title shot. I don't even like the guy. His arrogance and ignorance rub me the wrong way but there's no denying his skillset is worthy of testing those championship waters. Also, there are plenty of fighters who were gifted title shots for far less.
I'm without a doubt certain Georges St. Pierre defeats either champion. They all shine at the top of their time as champs but GSP is different, he's just a little more extra.
Nate will own Khamzat for the rest of his career and if he defeats Tony in the main event, you can bet he gets the last laugh. This is what happens when you try and screw the disgruntled employee.
That said, I really hope he sticks around and doesn't waste the years he's got left to go box...
