Dana White listened and set it up with another shot – this time at its natural welterweight weight of 170 pounds – and Chimaev was even more impressive.
In the fastest turn in UFC history, Chimaev Rhys McKee missed a single goal on Sunday (AEST) when he clinched a 2-0 result in UFC in less than two weeks.
According to unofficial UFC statistics, Chimaev landed 68 goals against McKee in just over three minutes.
“I’ll smash everyone,” Chimaev said after the fight.
