Make the most of Khamzat Chimaev whilst he’s here because the Chechnan might not be around for too long.
Chimaev, 27, revealed in a recent interview with Smesh Bros that he plans to follow in the footsteps of UFC lightweight GOAT Khabib Nurmagomedov and retire on top.
The 27-year-old wrecking machine, who competes at both welterweight and middleweight, made a promise to his mother during his prolonged battle with COVID-19 that he would retire after becoming a ‘legit champion’ and cementing his legacy as one of the greatest fighters in UFC history.
“My mother thinks I become a champion after each fight I win,” Chimaev said (h/t Sports Manor).
