Khamzat Chimaev would take skills from the former two-part UFC champions Conor McGregor and Alex Pereira to create the perfect hunter.
Chimaev is currently deep in Vechtweek for his first UFC title shot, which will be on American Soil in Chicago's United Center on Saturday 16 August.
'Borz' has the task of doing something that nobody has achieved in the promotion so far – Beat Drus du Persis. Chimaev will challenge du plessis on UFC 319, because the couple above an intriguing line -up is also the way in which Michael 'Venom' page stands, Jared Cannonier, Carlos Prates, Kai Asakura, Aaron Pico, Lerone Murphy and Edson Barboza.
Apart from themselves, none of the other names compete on UFC 319 would make Chimaev's 'ultimate UFC hunter'.
Khamzat Chimaev wants the legs of Alex Pereira and the microphone skills of Conor McGregor
In the midst of the barrage of questions that PPV headliners receive with regard to their opponent, plans for the fight and future ambitions, Chimaev recently took some time to tackle a more airy subject from UFC 319.
During an interview with TNT Sports, the Challenger of the Middle Weight title was asked to build his choices in a number of categories to build the perfect hunter.
Chimaev opted for power, struggling and chin, but selected various stars for the four other categories. While goat candidate Demetrious Johnson was chosen for his combat -IQ, Bantamweight King Merab Dvalishvili did not surprisingly make the cut the cut.
There were also places for two digits within the two-division Champ Club-Alex Pereira and Conor McGregor. The Brazilian was chosen by Chimaev for his legs, but it was the work of the Irishman on the microphone instead of in cage that played a role to him.
Khamzat Chimaev said he would finish Alex Pereira in one round
If his plans flourished in 2023, Chimaev could have experienced the renowned legs of Pereira first hand.
After Chimaev had torn by Holland on UFC 279, the expected middleweight movement of the Chechense suddenly left him in another champion.
Only a few weeks before Israel Adesanya took the middleweight crown back, Chimaev full of confidence predicted his potential Pereira fight and claimed that he would only need one round to put “Patan” away.
“He is the easy fight for me in the UFC,” said Chimaev during an appearance on the MMA hour with Ariel Helwani. “(Easiest) in my career, brother.
“First round, first minute,” he continued. “Easy. No punch, nothing.”
