Khamzat Chimaev claims Stephen Thompson, Chris Weidman declined to fight him

It appears that the UFC is having a hard time finding an opponent for Khamzat Chimaev.

The undefeated Russian, who made a lot of noise with three UFC wins in less than 70 days, took on social media Friday to say that longtime octagon veterans Stephen Thompson and Chris Weidman were approached about a fight with him, but declined the offer.

I just want to let my fans know and the people who support me the ufc offer me wonder boy and he turned it down at 170 and also chris Weidman at 185 who also turned it down.
