Khamzat Launches Social Assault On Pereira

Khamzat Chimaev is trashing Alex Pereira on Twitter.

Perhaps “Poatan” is catching strays in the beef between Chimaev and Sean Strickland, since Pereira has been a big supporter of “Tarzan” in the years after sleeping Strickland at UFC 276. Or maybe “Borz” is aligning himself with No. 1-ranked light heavyweight contender Magomed Ankalaev, who challenges Pereira for the 205-pound strap at UFC 313 next month in Las Vegas.

Here’s a sample of Chimaev’s social media onslaught:

One fan replied, “you got done like this by a common cold.”

I guess Chimaev got bored with this welterweight “bullsh*t boy.”

The 30 year-old Chimaev (14-0) is expected to get next crack at reigning middleweight champion Dricus Du Plessis, who beat Strickland to retain his 185-pound title last weekend in Sydney. That’s what makes his attack on Pereira all the more puzzling.

“Poatan” has yet to respond to the “Borz” blitzkrieg.
