Khamzat Chimaev and Kevin Holland have traded barbs numerous times now. This includes a scuffle earlier in 2021, around the time Holland questioned the reality of Chimaev’s long and tough battle with COVID-19.
After being out for over a year, Chimaev is finally set to return to the cage at UFC 267 this week against China’s Li Jingliang. The Chechen also decided to reveal his side of that hotel lobby incident.
“Holland. He commented something under (Instagram) post about me. He wrote something about me, ‘where’s your mask?’ when I was helping this one guy, but I didn’t know I was being recorded,” Chimaev said.
