Giga Chikadze has found himself in a tough spot in the UFC after losing his last fight against Calvin Kattar. He was doing a lot of talking and wanted to fight Alexander Volkanovski for the featherweight title.
Now the fight will not be happening and everyone is firing shots at the Georgian UFC fighter. Alexander Volkanovski made sure to fire a few shots himself on the latest edition of The MMA Hour.
“I think that was a big eye-opener for Giga,” the UFC champion said. “That, mate, [against] good guys, you can’t just rely on a kick. You know, the Giga kick. It just shows you, you nullify his Giga kick and he ends up being a punching bag,” Volkanovski said. “Again just, man, that’s why you’ve got to fight these contenders. Fight all the top guys, guys that are going to mix it up. See where you are before you start facing the (UFC) champ. You could imagine when you talk about making adjustments, game planning, cardio, all these tools that I have, I would have made him look really, really bad. You could imagine.
“So before you want to take out these types of guys, let’s experiment with some of these good guys and see where you’re at. And he showed that he’s not really at that level,” the UFC champion added.
It's not the end of the world for Giga Chikadze and he will be able to fight for a UFC title in the future should he get back on track. Alexander Volkanovski currently has a fight against The Korean Zombie at UFC 273.
