“No, I didn’t talk to them about it – it’s not my concern,” the head of the organization said at a press conference in Las Vegas. “We are in the fighting business and these things happen. The main thing is that they do not fight in UFC PI – this is our job. And fighters will always be fighters – these things happen and we have to deal with it.”
“It happened that the guys started fights with us. They cross paths in UFC PI, there are skirmishes between them, but again, this is our business. Where possible we try to breed them in different places, but we train a huge number of fighters, and I think even in their own camp they have skirmishes, so this is not surprising.
At the moment, Khamzat Chimaev is completing preparations for the fight against Nate Diaz, who will head the UFC 279 tournament in Las Vegas on September 10.
In a recent interview, the Chechen fighter did not rule out that after the fight with the American, he could rise to the middle weight category, where Paulo Costa competes.
