UFC star Khamzat Chimaev and former middleweight titleholder Luke Rockhold clashed on the mats ahead of Chimaev’s return to the Octagon.
Chimaev will face former UFC middleweight champion Robert Whittaker in the UFC 308 co-main event next month. He returns to the Octagon against Whittaker after the two were supposed to headline UFC Saudi Arabia earlier this summer before Chimaev withdrew due to illness.
Chimaev, despite a recent injury scare ahead of UFC 308, is looking sharp ahead of his return. He’s already shared parts of his ferocious training regimen before the event and aims to make a statement.
