Ahead of UFC 304, Giga Chikadze warns wrestle-happy opponents they’ll just get knocked out faster

MANCHESTER, England – Giga Chikadze met the media Wednesday ahead of his fight at UFC 304.

Chikadze (15-3 MMA, 8-1 UFC) takes on Arnold Allen (19-3 MMA, 10-2 UFC) in a featherweight fight to open up the main card on pay-per-view at Co-op Live in Manchester, England. At media day in Manchester, Chikadze took questions from media members before his fight.

Chikadze finally is back after a layoff of 11 months. He was set to return this past December, but had to pull out of a fight against Josh Emmett. That means Allen now stands in his way of a second straight win in his effort to rebound from the first UFC loss of his career.

Of note, Chikadze said anyone who’s interested in wrestling him to keep him at bay might want to think again.

Check out Chikadze’s full media day interview in the video above.
