Khamzat Chimaev isn’t currently ranked in the top 15 of the UFC’s middleweight division. But that hasn’t stopped the fast-rising star from calling for a bout with middleweight champ, Israel Adesanya.

Since Adesanya stopped Paulo Costa in decisive fashion at UFC 253 on Saturday, Chimaev tweeted out the comments and image below.

I am ready, make this happen @ufc @danawhite @seanshelby

The 26-year-old Chimaev is coming off a 17 second, knockout win over Gerald Meerschaert on September 19th. In July, Chimaev set a new UFC record by winning two bouts in just 10 days.
