Dana White wowed by Khamzat Chimaev’s UFC Vegas 11 performance: ‘Never seen anything like him’

After making a name for himself on Fight Island, Khamzat Chimaev proved he was the real deal in his first fight in Las Vegas – and UFC President Dana White could be his biggest fan.

At UFC Vegas 11 this past Saturday, Chimaev extended the incredible start to his octagon career, winning his third fight in 66 days in spectacular fashion. The Swedish-Russian fighter needed just 17 seconds to score a one-punch KO against middleweight veteran Gerald Meerschaert at UFC Vegas 11 on Saturday, which sent his already speeding hype train into overdrive.
