Khamzat Chimaev on Jon Jones
“It wasn't real wrestling like people are saying... He liked it. He was there shooting, doing funny things around there... Yeah, but when the wrestling starts, man, my body works. When someone starts to wrestle with me, my body is going for takedowns. So, it wasn't my choice”
