Khamzat Chimaev had a seriously threatening message to the rest of the UFC following his victory over Kevin Holland.
Chimaev was initially supposed to be meeting Nate Diaz on the main event. However, he stepped onto the scales more than seven pounds overweight.
Dana White reshuffled the card, bumping Tony Ferguson up to the main event and pairing Chimaev with Kevin Holland, who he made light work of.
Chimaev submitted Holland in the very first round of the contest, no doubt winning back brownie points with Dana after Friday’s weigh-in debacle.
When speaking to Joe Rogan post-fight, Chimaev also sent a message to all of his UFC counterparts, one which will leave them struggling to sleep at night…

“Say something now!
“I’m the most dangerous here! I come for everyone. I kill everybody.”
After yet another dominant victory, Khamzat Chimaev lets loose on the mic.
He goes on to call out both Nate Diaz and Tony Ferguson.

Chimaev is the real deal. He’s a very dangerous fighter. It’s hard to imagine what stops him in his tracks before he’s granted a shot at a world title.
He may well be unpopular, especially after this weekend’s nonsense, but there’s no denying that he’s going right to the very top of the UFC.
