Brendan Allen Criticizes Khamzat Chimaev’s ‘Weird’ Callout of Alex Pereira

Ahead of his UFC Vancouver headliner, Allen called Chimaev’s pursuit of light-heavyweight champion Pereira premature, saying, “He’s got a lot of work to do in our division first.” The middleweight contender compared Chimaev’s talk-heavy approach to Conor McGregor’s, noting the Chechen star hasn’t defended a title yet. “It’s weird… I don’t think that’s in his future right now,” Allen added.
