UFC President was in complete awe of the rising contender and stated that Chiamev is special and that he has never seen anybody like him. Sharing his thoughts on what’s next for Khamzat Chiamev, White said.

“I believe the guy is special. I’ve been in this game my whole life. I’ve never seen anything like him. He wants to fight again, you know, I’ve never been in a position where I’m like who’s next? How do we get him a fight at? Well, how do we get him over here? How do we do this? How do we do that? It’s fun and I like it and I think when you’re a fight man, a guy like this and that you love to watch and follow and hate. Hey, you know and whatever it might be this is this guy is one of those special Fighters I’ve ever seen. It’s not the most special guy that I’ve ever come across and he kept telling me leading up to this fight. You think I’m a wrestler. You think I’m a wrestler wait till you see my hands what we should do.”
