In a recent interview with ESPN, the president of UFC expressed his admiration towards the Swede and said, “The guy is so dominant, so confident, wants to continue to fight every weekend. I love it, I love guys with that mentality. I love how talented this guy is. We threw the hottest prospect out of the U.K. at him and that kid is a badass. That kid is a legit great fighter. (Chimaev) made it look like he didn’t belong there. … The kid is legit. He’s real and he knows it and I love it.”

White further added, “He said he wanted to fight and I said, ‘Done. I’ll make it happen,’” White said. “He wants to fight now again in August. I’m going to get him what he wants.” (Source)
