Blooper : Khamzat Chimaev Calls Out Dwayne ‘The Rock’ Johnson By Mistake
The highly anticipated fight card between with Colby Covington and Tyron Woodley as the main-event just wrapped up. In what was a glorious night of fights, certain athletes put on exceptional performances. However, one fighter particularly shocked everyone with the quick disposal of his opponent. Yes, it is the undefeated Swedish fighter, Khamzat Chimaev.
Chimaev made easy work of his opponent, Gerald Meerschaert. The fight started with Chimaev pressuring Meerschaert against the cage and circling to his dominant side. In just 17 seconds of the first round, Chimaev landed a big right hand on Meerschaert, who was sent crashing down against the cage.
Just like that, the fight was over. Fans, commentators, and even Dana White himself were left flabbergasted.
Khamzat Chimaev makes a mistaken call-outIn the post fight interview, Chimaev followed up by saying he will fight anyone and went even as far as taking current WWE superstar and former UFC heavyweight champion Brock Lesnar’s name.
He later posted a tweet which included a line from one of Lesnar’s most famous post-fight interviews saying “Can you see me now”.
@TheRock Can you see me now
