Khamzat Chimaev's Interaction With Daniel Cormier Has Fans Excited For UFC 319 originally appeared on Athlon Sports.

Khamzat Chimaev continued to brush off Paulo Costa. Costa (15-4 MMA, 7-4 UFC) is eager to fight with Chimaev after accusing him of sending his wife "nasty" messages on Instagram. Chimaev denied ever doing that, but Costa still insists on settling his grudge with him.

After watching Chimaev knock out Gerald Meerschaert in just 17 seconds the year before, the UFC CEO gushed about him in a post-fight interview. He called him “special” and admitted that he’d never seen anyone like him in the octagon before.
