Unbeaten middleweight contender, Khamzat Chimaev has shared some new details regarding the “violent” illness which forced him from a UFC Saudi Arabia main event fight with former champion, Robert Whittaker last month, which included a series of trips to hospital.
Chimaev, who currently boasts an undefeated 13-0 professional record as well as the number eleven rank in the official middleweight division, has been out of action since he last co-headlined UFC 294 back in October of last year.
Out of action since last year, Chimaev most recently featured against former welterweight champion and pound-for-pound number one, Kamaru Usman, defeating the Auchi native in a close, controversial majority decision win.
