Ahead of his return to action at UFC 308 this weekend, unbeaten starlet, Khamzat Chimaev has revealed he has dealt with depression and a host of other health issues during his time away from the Octagon — claiming that despite his dominance in the sport, he is still only “human.
Chimaev, the current number thirteen ranked middleweight contender, is slated to make his return to the Octagon this weekend in the co-main event of UFC 308, taking on former undisputed champion, Robert Whittaker in the pair’s rescheduled matchup.
Initially scheduled to fight the Auckland-born favorite at UFC Saudi Arabia earlier this summer, Chimaev, who boasts an undefeated 13-0 professional record, was forced to withdraw from the pairing — citing a “violent” illness.
