Khamzat Chimaev claims that he’s bringing home a bigger bag than most UFC champions these days.
After a year-long layoff, ‘Borz’ will return to the Octagon on Saturday for a high-stakes showdown with former middleweight titleholder Robert Whittaker.
The winner will likely emerge as the next man in line for a shot at the division’s top prize, currently held by South African sensation Dricus Du Plessis.
But even before earning his first shot at UFC gold, Chimaev says he’s already being paid like a champion.
