Last night undefeated UFC welterweight prospect Khamzat Chimaev stunned the MMA world by seemingly announcing his retirement. The 9-0 fighter, who has been battling complications from COVID-19, wrote on Instagram that he thinks he’s done with the sport.
Chimaev, who has wowed fans since debuting for the UFC last summer, wrote:
I want to say thank you to everyone for their support in my path in this sport. I think I’m done. Yes, I know that I didn’t take the belt, but this is not the most important victory in this life. It may upset you, but my heart and body tell me everything.
