Media Chimaev describes other fighters

I don't buy this line. There are multiple people at WW who've offered to fight him and there are certainly plenty of MW's who would fight him. He's not even ranked at MW.
When Costa pulled out of the Whittaker fight in Perth, didn't hear a peep from Khamzat about taking that fight. He was too busy tweeting for a title shot against Pereira despite being unranked.

You think Vettori wouldn't fight him? 100 percent he would. Hermansson, Gastelum, Curtis, Imanov. At WW, Belal has called him out and would fight him, Brady offered to fight him, Luque, JDM, Magny (was offering to fight him for like a year and a half).

If he wants to fight, there are plenty of top 15 guys at both weights who would fight him. Give me a break. He's picking fights.

Give me a break.
Costa aint taking that fight on his last fight..a loss would lower his value.

I have no idea about the others. But im sure as shit Colby ducked him

I highly doubt Costa, who fought Yoel, is scared of Khamzat. Costa's issue is money. he wants more of it.

No argument that Colby wouldn't take the fight at the moment, but I'm sure it's not cause he's scared. In a 5 round fight, judging off the Gilbert fight, Colby's cardio and output would be a problem if Khamzat can't finish it early. shrug.

My point was it's total bullshit to say " no one will fight him", there are plenty of guys at WW and especially MW who would fight him and have offered. If he wants to fight, he could take a fight against any top top 15, top 10 MW. They'd all gladly fight him. He could also fight Belal at WW. He's trying to wait for the right fight, which is fine. Just don't say you'll fight anyone and everyone and then sit on the sidelines waiting for the fight you want.
