Welterweight prospect Khamzat Chimaev has been recently calling out to top UFC star Conor McGregor, claiming he would stop the Irishman in the first round if they fought.
Chimaev has quickly made a name for himself as he became one of the stars of the UFC Fight Island events. After making his UFC debut at UFC Fight Island 1 with a submission win over John Phillips, Chimaev made UFC history when he picked up a second win in just 10 days when he defeated Rhys McKee via TKO at UFC Fight Island 3. The top prospect from Sweden is now being touted by fighters, fans and media alike as a future world champion.
Speaking to TMZ Sports, Chimaev spoke about what he would do to McGregor if they did end up fighting.
“I know I can beat every fighter in the top-10. I don’t see somebody that can stop me. I am going to finish everybody. Conor McGregor, I’m going to finish him in the first round, brother. I promise you, brother, I’m going to finish him in the first round,” Chimaev said.
While there are certainly some big differences between the fighters in terms of rankings and prestige to fight each other, Chimaev is confident he would end the Irishman,
“Let’s fight. Don’t talk, fight. If you’re real gangster, if you’re real man, then don’t talk on Instagram. Just come in the cage and talk in the cage and say something to me. You’re sitting in Ireland and talking to me while I sit in Sweden. We can meet in Abu Dhabi or Las Vegas. Send me location like Khabib says. I come to smash your face,” Chimaev said.

Chimaev has made UFC history during his brief stint with the promotion. In his two UFC fights, which took place within 10 days of each other. Chimaev has out-landed his opponents 192-2, and scored three takedowns, one for each round he started. Since then he has been calling out the biggest names in the sports including McGregor and welterweight champion, Kamaru Usman.
McGregor is currently retired from the sport. He walked away from MMA for the third time and four years after becoming frustrated with the lack of fights available to him. ’Notorious’ last fought in January when he beat Donald ‘Cowboy’ Cerrone inside one minute at UFC 246.

It turns out Khamzat Chimaev had his sights set on Conor McGregor for a while.
The pair recently went back-and-forth on social media after McGregor insulted Chimaev in a social media post which led to the latter hitting back.
And in a recent interview (via MMA Junkie), Chimaev revealed the hostility between the two went as far back as 2018 when McGregor insulted Nurmagomedov as well as a number of Chechens including Zubaira Tukhugov in the buildup to their UFC 229 fight.
The Chechnya-born Chimaev was left incensed as he wanted to beat McGregor up.
“At that time, I was fighting as an amateur or a pro record of 1-0 when that happened,” Chimaev said. “It is that time when he insulted Khabib, and he also was talking about Zubaira (Tukhugov). At that time, nobody knew who I was. He was also talking about another guy who’s also Chechen. I don’t remember his name, but he told us he knocked him out in a sparring session.
“My mind was blowing up at the moment, but I’m living here very close to him. I was thinking that I would catch him in the streets or at the gym and beat him up. This is what he deserved.”
Chimaev took action as he even traveled to Ireland to fight McGregor.
In the end, nothing occurred as he was stopped at the airport, jailed and then told to go home to Sweden. There were no official reasons as to why he was detained.
However, he was ready to pretend he was going there to help McGregor prepare for Nurmagomedov when in reality, he wanted to defend Nurmaogmedov’s as well as the Chechen people’s honor.
“Honestly speaking, I wanted to beat him up,” Chimaev added. “Many people thought I was coming there to help him to prepare for Khabib. … Not only for Khabib. I was coming there to protect our pride and honor.
“I was going there for all of us. If that would not have happened, I would have maybe thrown, I don’t know, some object. … I think I was able to stand for myself.”
Chimaev has enjoyed a meteoric rise to his UFC career with two dominant wins in the space of 10 days. He will look to make it three wins in the space of a month after UFC president Dana White revealed he would try and land him a fight at UFC 252 on August 15.
