MMA Community Roasts Khamzat Chimaev for Cryptocurrency Involvement

The MMA community has recently directed a torrent of criticism at Khamzat Chimaev following his venture into the world of cryptocurrency. Chimaev, who had been recovering from a withdrawal from a scheduled fight against Robert Whitaker, posted a video on social media expressing his interest in cryptocurrency and seeking advice on which coin to invest in. Instead of offering constructive suggestions, fans and members of the MMA community seized the opportunity to poke fun at him.

One fan quipped, “Whatever one helps your immune system,” referencing Chimaev’s past health struggles. Another fan remarked, “From a fan-favored fighting three times in 60 days to never fighting and becoming a dictator’s puppet and potentially starting crypto scams in the UAE. Name a bigger decline.” These comments reflect the community’s frustration and disappointment with Chimaev’s shift in focus from fighting to promoting cryptocurrency.

Ben “The Bane” Davis, fresh off a win in Karate Combat, added fuel to the fire by suggesting that Chimaev might turn out to be the biggest letdown in UFC history. Davis recalled the high expectations fans had for Chimaev, who was once touted as a potential triple champion. Now, with his involvement in cryptocurrency, Davis and others believe Chimaev’s career trajectory is heading in a disappointing direction.

Chimaev’s promotion of a cryptocurrency called “Smash” only added to the controversy. The coin’s value plummeted by 94% just hours after he promoted it, leading to accusations that he scammed his fans. Chimaev’s team has denied any wrongdoing, but the damage to his reputation seems significant. While Chimaev and his team have stated that he isn’t retiring, there’s been no indication of when he will return to the octagon.

Charles Oliveira Reveals Next Fight

Following his UFC 300 loss to Arman Tsarukyan, Charles Oliveira has been eager to get back into the octagon. In a recent interview with TNT Sports, Oliveira revealed that he is aiming to fight in late August or early September. Despite rumors suggesting a potential matchup with Dan Hooker at UFC 305, Oliveira shot down these rumors on social media.

Oliveira’s position in the UFC’s lightweight rankings remains strong, sitting just behind Arman Tsarukyan. Fans are keen to see him in a high-profile matchup, possibly against top contenders like Justin Gaethje or Dustin Poirier, both of whom Oliveira has previously defeated. Additionally, a potential bout with Brian Ortega, who has expressed interest in moving up to 155 pounds, could also be on the horizon.

Tom Aspinall Interested in Fighting Alex Pereira

Tom Aspinall, currently focused on his upcoming fight at UFC 304 in Manchester, has expressed interest in fighting Alex Pereira if Pereira moves up to the heavyweight division. Pereira, who recently captured the UFC light heavyweight title, has hinted at a potential move to heavyweight, aiming to become the first-ever three-division champion in UFC history.

Aspinall praised Pereira’s achievements and expressed his willingness to face him in the future. However, Aspinall emphasized that his current focus is on his upcoming fight and that any potential matchup with Pereira would depend on future circumstances and UFC’s plans for Pereira’s career trajectory.

Nate Diaz Goes Off During Press Conference

Nate Diaz made headlines during a press conference for his fight with Jorge Masvidal by going off on a content creator named Neon. Neon, who recently trained with Masvidal, asked Diaz if he planned to retire after potentially getting knocked out on Saturday night. Diaz did not take kindly to the question and responded aggressively, calling Neon out and threatening to kick him.

The altercation highlighted the growing tension between fighters and social media personalities who often engage in trash talk. Diaz’s team reportedly chased Neon out of the building, although it remains unclear if they caught up with him. This incident underscores the volatile nature of press conferences and the high stakes involved for fighters like Diaz.

Ilia Topuria Breaks Silence on Next UFC Fight

Ilia Topuria, who has been inactive since his UFC 298 victory over Alexander Volkanovski, has finally provided an update on his next fight. During a recent press conference, Topuria revealed that he is aiming for a fight in Abu Dhabi and hopes that an opponent will step up soon. He pointed to Max Holloway as a potential opponent, accusing Holloway of delaying the fight.

Holloway responded by denying Topuria’s claims and asserting that he has been ready to fight. The back-and-forth between the two fighters has created a buzz among fans, with many hoping that a fight between them will be finalized soon. The heated exchanges on social media have only added to the anticipation for this potential matchup.

UFC Fight Updates

The UFC has announced several new fights, including a flyweight bout between Joshua Van and Charles Johnson and a bantamweight fight between Montel Jackson and Deon BlackShear for the upcoming UFC Denver card on July 13th. Van will look to build on a three-fight victory streak, while Johnson aims to continue his two-fight win streak. Jackson, riding a four-fight win streak, will face BlackShear, who seeks to rebound from a previous loss.

Additionally, a women’s fight between Josiane Nunes and Jacqueline Cavalcanti has been added to UFC Vegas 96 on August 24th. Nunes looks to bounce back from a loss, while Cavalcanti aims to build on her successful UFC debut. Another notable fight will see Michel Pereira clash with Anthony Hernandez at UFC 306 on September 14th.

Brian Ortega Breaks Silence on UFC 303 Withdrawal

Brian Ortega recently broke his silence regarding his withdrawal from UFC 303, explaining that he had been battling a severe fever that left him too ill to compete. Ortega apologized to his fans and opponent Diego Lopez, expressing his desire to make things right. Ortega’s health issues and the dramatic weight cut required to fight on short notice contributed to his decision to withdraw.

The MMA community expressed sympathy for Ortega, with fans acknowledging the difficulties of making weight and competing at the highest level. Many are hopeful for Ortega’s speedy recovery and anticipate his return to the octagon, possibly at the UFC Sphere card in September.
