Khamzat Chimaev declares himself the best wrestler in the UFC ahead of UFC 308: “Why should I be worried about him?”

Robert Whittaker doubts Khamzat Chimaev will be able to take him down at UFC 308
Although Khamzat Chimaev thinks he’s the best wrestler in the UFC, Robert Whittaker plans to put an end to those claims at UFC 308.

Whittaker is confident he will be able to stuff the takedowns of Chimaev which will lead him to a stoppage win.

“If I give him half a chance, he’ll kill me. But, I take confidence in how well-rounded I am. I’m exceptional at it all. I’m faster, I’m a better striker, and I have better instincts, I’m a hard guy to take down,” Whittaker said. “This isn’t a wrestling match, this is an MMA fight. I’m going to look to stuff his takedowns and I’m going to beat him up.”

Chimaev enters the bout with a record of 13-0 and is coming off a majority decision win over Kamaru Usman last October. Whittaker, meanwhile, is 26-7 and coming off a KO win over Ikram Aliskerov.
