Ian Heinisch interested in fighting Khamzat Chimaev next

Ian Heinisch calls for Khamzat Chimaev fight

No. 15 ranked middleweight contender Ian Heinisch has stated that he is ready to take on surging UFC fighter Khamzat Chimaev.

Khamzat Chimaev has been so dominant inside the Octagon that he has had a hard time getting fights. This led to Ian Heinisch telling in an interview that he was game to test Chimaev at middleweight.

What has been upsetting is Khamzat is saying no one wants to fight him. I know I have a fight on the books but double-book me,” Heinisch said on Just Scrap Radio on BJPENN.com. “All these rules are being bent with COVID, and Neil Magny and I were calling him out. If he wants it at 185, I’m right here. I’m a ranked opponent and I’m ready to fight whenever.”
