"[Nate] Diaz, let's go, brother. Let's go. Gonna get some smoke, bro?... Let's see who is the real gangtser. [Jorge] Masvidal, he has fight, has like something bad, I don't know, motherf*****g belt something. I'm gonna take everything from this UFC brother, now I am UFC brother," said Khamzat Chimaev.
