Khamzat Chimaev might be the best raw talent the UFC has seen since Jon Jones.
The undefeated Chechnan extended his UFC winning streak to 6-0 (12-0 MMA) with a flawless victory over Kevin Holland in Saturday’s UFC 279 co-main event, submitting ‘Trailblazer’ with a D’Arce choke at 2:13 of the first round.
UFC president Dana White was blown away by Khamzat’s performance and hailed The Allstar Training Center standout ‘a f-cking freak of nature’ for making Holland, a sixteen-fight UFC veteran, look like he didn’t belong in the cage with him.
“I don’t know if anybody expected him to do exactly what he did,” White told reporters at the UFC 279 post-fight press conference (h/t MMA Fighting).
