UFC rising star Khamzat Chimaev has set his sights on two big-name fighters in the sport–Conor McGregor and Nate Diaz.

Following his first-round submission win over Jingliang Li at UFC 267, Khamzat Chimaev is now hunting his next possible victim.

Taking his idea of who he wants to take on next to social media, Chimaev tried to capture the attention of UFC superstars Conor McGregor and Nate Diaz by calling out the pair on Twitter in a unique way.

Chimaev posted a photo of McGregor accompanied with a tweet saying, “Let’s make Big drama show @TheNotoriousMMA.”

As for Diaz, Chimaev posted a photo of him holding a high-caliber submachine gun with a grin on his face and a caption that says, “I’m coming 209 @NateDiaz209.”

Chimaev has become one of the most coveted fighters in the UFC in recent times, having won all of his four fights under the fame promotion's banner via finishes.

It is yet to be known why the 17-year-oldhas decided to call Diaz out but he has long been yearning to fight McGregor.

Like many in the UFC, Chimaev is also not a fan of McGregor's trash-talking and flamboyant personality. In fact, he even flew to Ireland at one point in the hope to meet and beat up “The Notorious” even in the streets.

“It is that time when he insulted Khabib,” Chimaev recalled via Talksport. “I was thinking that I would catch him in the streets or at the gym and beat him up. This is what he deserved.”

“I landed in Ireland and waited in an airport,” he continued. “First, they stopped me a while, and then they told me to go. Then I was going out. When I was going out of the airport, they stopped me again. That time, there were guys literally in uniform. There were [special forces], and they told me, ‘You cannot go anywhere.'”
