"American wrestling is no technique" - Khamzat Chimaev hilariously claims he'd "smash" Daniel Cormier 10-0 in wrestling
Khamzat Chimaev's confidence in his abilities as a fighter is infectious to say the least. Several fighters claim they're the best in the world at their job, but one look at Chimaev is all it takes to figure he genuinely believes he's the best fighter on the planet.
During a recent interaction with former two-division UFC champion Daniel Cormier, 'Borz' hilariously claimed he'd 'smash' 'DC' 10-0 if they wrestled each other. The Russian-born Swedish fighter claimed that there's not much technique involved in American wrestling and that it's about single-leg takedowns only.
In a recently-shared video on Cormier's YouTube channel, Chimaev said:
"Brother, I'm going to smash you, brother. I'm going to smash you brother in wrestling. 10-0 brother. You know American wrestling is no technique brother, only single-leg. You're single-leg guys..."
