Jorge Masvidal unimpressed with Khamzat Chimaev: ‘I don’t think he’ll be around MMA much longer’

Former two-time UFC welterweight title challenger, Jorge Masvidal has hit out at the undefeated, Khamzat Chimaev – questioning if the Chechnya native is utilizing steroids, and questioning his longevity in the sport.

Masvidal, the current #11 ranked welterweight contender, returns to the Octagon this weekend in the co-main event of UFC 287, taking on Brazilian contender, Gilbert Burns.

Returning to his native, Miami, Florida – Masvidal has a three-fight losing skid to overcome against Burns, having previously dropped a pair of losses to former champion, Kamaru Usman, and last March, former interim titleholder, Colby Covington.
