Fans have reacted after newly minted UFC middleweight champion Khamzat Chimaev called out Alex Pereira after UFC 320.

Pereira had lost his UFC light heavyweight strap earlier this year to Magomed Ankalaev, but earlier today in the UFC 320 headliner, the two ran it back, and this time, 'Poatan' wasted no time to claim his lost championship.

In the second minute of Round 1, Pereira stunned Ankalaev with a left hook. To recover from that, Ankalaev shot for a takedown but failed, and Pereira advanced to finish the Dagestani with non-stop hammerfists and ground and pound.

In 2024, Chimaev had called 'Poatan' an easier matchup. Although he does not underestimate Pereira's power, 'Borz' believes that with he can neutralise Pereira's striking with his grappling-heavy fight style.

'Poatan,' however, has no plans as of now to move down to middleweight. He has expressed interest in climbing up to heavyweight to become a three-division UFC champion.

On the other hand, Chimaev will be defending his UFC middleweight championship for the first time early next year, as per his manager.
