Ahead of next month’s United States President election, Republican candidate and former President, Donald Trump has heaped praise on the unbeaten, Khamzat Chimaev ahead of his return at UFC 308 — labelling the unbeaten Chechen as aa “great fighter.
Chimaev, the current number thirteen ranked middleweight contender, is slated to co-headline UFC 308 this weekend in his return in Abu Dhabi, UAE — taking on former middleweight champion, Robert Whittaker in the pair’s rescheduled matchup over the course of five rounds.
Sidelined since he featured in the co-main event of UFC 294 last October on the same soil as his return this weekend, Chimaev improved to 13-0 with a controversial majority decision win over former undisputed welterweight gold holder and pound-for-pound number one, Kamaru Usman in the pair’s short-notice battle in the Middle East.
