Such a terrifying warning is not uncommon for the Russian as the fighter since his debut has always shown his unmatched desire to get into the ring and destroy his opponents. In his last fight against Li Jingliang after winning the bout, Chimaev in his post-fight interview said he is coming to fight and kill everybody and take his position as the new welterweight champion.
