HomeUFCGiga Chikadze wants EA Sports to include him in UFC 4

The UFC 4 video game does not feature the up and coming featherweight star Giga Chikadze

Chikadze earned a stunning KO win over the experienced Cub Swanson at the recently concluded UFC Vegas 25. The Georgian’s brutal kick to the liver sent Swanson catching his abdomen and sinking to the ground.

Even more impressive was the time he took to knockout Swanson. Chikadze just needed 63 seconds to see off the 37-year old.

With that win Chikadze also broke into the top 10 of the featherweight rankings, thereby becoming the first Georgian to break into the top 10 of the UFC rankings.

However, Chikadze was unhappy with his character not available in the UFC 4 video game. With a rather funny tweet, saying that his son couldn’t find his daddy in the game, he requested the UFC to surprise him.

Mentioning EA Sports, UFC President Dana White and Ali Abdelaziz, Chikadze tweeted:

“Hey @EASPORTSUFC , My son can鈥檛 find his daddy in the game, when will you surprise him??? @ufc @danawhite @AliAbdelaziz00.”

Giga Chikadze calls out Max Holloway and Yair Rodriguez after his victory

Chikadze had been quite vocal about fighting someone he looked up to – Max Holloway, even before the fight.

And, at the post-fight press conference he once again mentioned that he believed a performance like that would earn a shot against the number 1 ranked featherweight, Max Holloway.

He then said that he at least deserved Holloway’s last opponent, Calvin Kattar, for a performance like this.

Chikadze then called out the inactive Yair Rodriguez, who hasn’t fought in almost 2 years, despite being ranked number 3.

Mentioning Rodriguez’s recent pulling out from fights, Chikadze assured him that he wasn’t that dangerous.

Chikadze was quoted as saying:

“I believe this fight has to happen. It has to be real Mortal Kombat. I would love this fight, and plus, he鈥檚 been pulling out of fights for the last few times, and I鈥檓 not that dangerous.”
