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.

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.
