Alex Pereira\u2019s coach Glover Teixeira has both praised and criticized UFC champion Khamzat Chimaev in a recent interview.<\/p>\n

Right now, Khamzat Chimaev is on top of the world. He is the king of the middleweight division in the UFC after winning the world title from Dricus du Plessis earlier this year. Now, he has his eyes set on cementing his legacy even further, perhaps by going up to 205 pounds in search of a second world championship.<\/p>\n

If he did that, Chimaev would be going up against<\/a> Alex Pereira \u2013 which is a fight that\u2019s been teased for quite some time. While \u2018Poatan\u2019 is currently more interested in pursuing Jon Jones in a heavyweight superfight, taking on Khamzat is certainly still an interesting idea, even at this point in his career.<\/p>\n

In a recent interview, Glover Teixeira gave a very honest breakdown of how he feels about Chimaev as a fighter.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

Teixeira\u2019s view on Chimaev<\/p>\n

\u201cHe\u2019s great, he\u2019s great. I like the way he talks and he backs it up. He comes back and shows. He\u2019s an amazing fighter,\u201d Teixeira said.<\/p>\n

\u201cIf I have to say one thing that I don\u2019t like about Chimaev is like, I see him sometimes spar with guys \u2014 he beats the s\u2014 out of people, you know, that are not on his level.<\/p>\n

\u201cBut he\u2019s an amazing fighter, and he\u2019s good on the microphone too,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n
