Neil Magny and Khamzat Chimaev seem to be the UFC's biggest ‘will they-won't they.' Both men have been calling each other out for a long time and it appears that will continue.
Recently Dana White made waves when he said everyone in the UFC welterweight division was scared to fight Chimaev. Many UFC fighters spoke out against that including Geoff Neal and Neil Magny.
Neil Magny took to Twitter in order to let it be known that he wanted to fight Khamzat Chimaev. The welterweight has been calling out for the fight for many months.

The two went on Twitter and had a heated back and forth that confirmed both men were interested in the fight. Neil Magny was quick to show interest and Khamzat Chimaev followed up by calling Magny a ‘skinny boy.'

Neil Magny was the last to reply when he let the Swedish fighter know he had been ready for a long time. It's clear that Magny is not someone that is scared to fight Chimaev.
I've been ready!

The bout would make a lot of sense as Magny is in a good spot in the welterweight division and has been a solid veteran in the UFC for years. Chimaev is looking for a big to capitalize on his win back in October.
Only time will tell if the bout is something Dana White and the UFC are interested in making the fight at welterweight. Both men are certainly interested and fans want to see Chimaev take on big-name welterweights.
