Alex Pereira Challenges Khamzat Chimaev to UFC BJJ Grappling Match, Champion Calls It ‘Easy Money’

Overview

• Posting on Instagram, Pereira invited Chimaev to meet in a grappling match and said his entire payout would go to charity.
• Khamzat Chimaev replied on social media within hours, declaring the matchup easy money and claiming he could submit Pereira and Glover Teixeira on the same night.
• Teixeira publicly backed Pereira, urged a meeting with Chimaev, and issued his own confrontational message in a training clip.
• No bout has been scheduled by the UFC, and the exchange remains a public callout rather than a confirmed contest.
• Chimaev holds the UFC middleweight title after defeating Dricus du Plessis at UFC 319, while Pereira recently reclaimed the light heavyweight belt at UFC 320, setting up a striker-versus-grappler intrigue for a potential BJJ matchup.
