Khamzat Chimaev has issued a brand new threat at Ian Machado Garry after the pair’s altercation last night.
Arman Tsarukyan, his team and the Irishman were backstage in UFC Qatar after the Irishman’s win over former champion Belal Muhammad. The Irishman congratulated Belal Muhammad on his victory, then had a fun moment with Khamzat, who was standing in the corner.
Security stepped in and tensions seemed to rise between the two. Chimaev shoved Garry, causing a spat that lasted into the post-fight media conference.

Khamzat Chmaev’s feud with Ian Machado Garry continued on social media in a deleted tweet that was re-shared on ACD MMA & Championship Rounds on X. The pair both had their say at post-fight press conferences, but it seemingly wasn’t enough for the middleweight champion.
He wrote a message on his X-Account “White boy, you will not survive one minute in my world.” Nevertheless, he deleted the post quickly, and his Facebook page now shows a simple message of support for Arman, Tsarukyan, after his win.

Chimaev had previously said of Garry during Tsarukyan’s post-fight press conference: “Don’t punch somebody from behind… Yeah, he’s like slapping my back. Respectfully touch someone if you want to show them respect.
“He came there to make some hype. You know that guy is trying to be Conor, but he’s never gonna be Conor [McGregor]. He’s a s— fighter.”

Garry was quick to make his thoughts on the incident known, claiming that Chimaev’s display backstage was an example of ‘little d— energy’.
“‘I need to show the world I’m tough, I need to show…’” Garry goaded. “You’re the champion of the world! No one needs to see you be tough. You don’t need these anger management issues. Be a man.”
