Recently welcoming the birth of his first child, ahead of his return at UFC 308, Khamzat Chimaev has confirmed plans to reunite with his infant son in the immediate aftermath of his fight with Robert Whittaker, revealing how the former is dealing with a kidney health scare and is set for another surgery.
Chimaev, the current number thirteen ranked middleweight contender, is slated to return to action in tomorrow’s co-headliner with former undisputed divisional gold holder, Whittaker over the course of five rounds — with his own “violent” illness ruling him from a showdown with the ex-champion earlier this summer.
