Thank you and I’m very grateful, see [you] in June.’

Dana White on Khamzat Chimaev
UFC President Dana White refuted the claims at the time. “He’s on prednisone, and he’s supposed to be taking this thing and chilling, relaxing, and letting himself recover. He went in and f*cking trained today, felt like sh*t, and got super emotional and posted that.”
‘He’s not supposed to be training’ White continued. ‘But you know, this guy’s a savage. He wants to fight like every f*cking weekend, and now he can’t even train, so he just got emotional and posted that, but he ain’t quitting.’
‘Surprise surprise I’m coming back to smash everybody’ Khamzat Chimaev wrote on Twitter, announcing his return in the past day.
