UFC Champ Alex Pereira throws shade at khamzat Chimaev with a clip from iconic martial arts film ‘kung Fu Hustle’

UFC light heavyweight champion Alex Pereira threw some shade at Khamzat Chimaev after the undefeated Chechen monster called for a title fight against the newly crowned king at 205.

Despite not having a single win over a top 10 opponent at middleweight or light heavyweight, Chimaev has been pushing hard for a title opportunity. After getting passed up for a shot at Sean Strickland’s 185-pound crown, ‘Borz’ turned his attention toward Pereira who is fresh off his second-round knockout of Jiri Prochazka at UFC 295.

‘Borz’ took to social media, suggesting that the UFC CEO book him as Pereira’s first title challenger.
