Khamzat Chimaev shares 3 simple steps for a fulfilling life at UFC London: ‘Smash somebody, make money, be happy’

Undefeated contender Khamzat Chimaev has a straightforward plan heading into his return to the Octagon this fall.

By the time ‘Borz’ straps on the four-ounce gloves once again, it will have been more than a year removed from his first-round shellacking of Kevin Holland at UFC 279. But we suspect the long wait will be worth it as Khamzat Chimaev is set to square off with one-time UFC title challenger Paulo Costa. The pair are set to meet in a middleweight clash at UFC 294, as announced by Dana White early this week.

Speaking backstage at UFC London on Saturday, Chimaev shared his plan come October 21 and some advice for a long and happy life in general.
