UFC rising star Khamzat Chimaev recently went to a call out spree and now wants a piece of WWE superstar Brock Lesnar.
Following his sensational rear-naked choke win over Li Jingliang at UFC 267 in Abu Dhabi, Khamzat Chimaev decided to poke an array of UFC stars on social media.
As it stands, former UFC and WWE heavyweight champion Brock Lesnar is now among Chimaev's latest targets.
“Let’s fight till one man leaves the cage @BrockLesnar,” Chimaev wrote on Twitter.

Apparently, this wasn't the first time Chimaev has expressed his desire to take on Lesnar. According to UFC president Dana White, the unbeaten welterweight had already told him about it while in the middle of the fight with Li Jingliang.
“He was yelling crazy s**t at me the whole fight,” White said of Chimaev via Talksport. “I don’t know why. But he was basically just saying ‘I’m going to fight everybody’ and ‘I’m going to fight Brock Lesnar, I don’t care who it is’.”
For obvious reasons, a fight between Chimaev and Lesnar is very unlikely to happen, especially under the UFC banner. However, what White was a bit confident about is that the 27-year-old could get to fight as much as he wants.
“Like I said before, he’s special, man,” the UFC boss raved. “If he wants to stay busy, I'm a big believer in that anyway, especially with the huge layoff he's had. I don't know. We would figure it out if that's what he really wanted to do.”
Aside from Lesnar, former UFC heavyweight Daniel Cormier, former interim welterweight champion Colby Covington, and Conor McGregor were also called out by Chimaev.
