""No, no. Bro, one belt against 20 belts," Chimaev said, emphasizing the disparity between his title win and the achievements of Dillashaw and Johnson."
"Johnson is considered one of the greatest fighters to ever grace the sport, who has most consecutive title defenses in UFC history."
"Chimaev always seemed destined for greatness, although he took more time than expected to become a UFC champion due to various reasons."
"Chimaev dominantly dethroned Dricus Du Plessis to win the middleweight title at UFC 319 last year."
Khamzat Chimaev recently met T.J. Dillashaw and Demetrious Johnson during a podcast filming. Chimaev humbly declined to compare his achievements with theirs, noting his one title win against their combined 20. Johnson is recognized for his record of consecutive title defenses and a successful career in ONE Championship. Dillashaw is regarded as a top bantamweight despite past PED violations. Chimaev won the middleweight title at UFC 319 and is set to defend it against Sean Strickland at UFC 328 on May 9.
