Continuing his wave of support for undefeated welterweight contender, Khamzat Chimaev, professional footballing star, Zlatan Ibrahimovic visited the Chechen-born fighter earlier this week during his training camp – gifting him a signed shirt from his return to Italian giants, AC Milan.
Chimaev, the current number four ranked welterweight contender, has been sidelined from active competition since he co-headlined UFC 279 back in September of last year, successfully improving to 12-0 as a professional with a first round D’Arce choke submission win over division striker, Kevin Holland in a catchweight clash.
Yet to book his return to the Octagon, Chimaev, who has been linked with a middleweight division climb, has most recently found himself linked to a potential fight against recent UFC Vegas 75 winner, Jared Cannonier.
