Anthony Zeidan is fighting Dzhokhar Dushuev at the upcoming Fitbox Fighting Championship in Muscat, Oman. During the pre-fight press conference, Zeidan and Dushuev had a clash of heads, which led to a pull-apart brawl.
What’s that got to do with UFC middleweight champion Khamzat Chimaev?

“If you show respect I show back respect,” Chimaev (15-0) wrote on social media. “Cama team talk too much that’s why no respect anymore.”
Chimaev, 31, has not competed since shutting out Dricus du Plessis atop the UFC 319 fight card last summer in Chicago. No word yet on when “Borz” will make his first title defense, but rumors of a UFC White House appearance have been swirling over the last several weeks.
