There appear to be no plans for Khamzat Chimaev to join Team Khabib despite the recent peace talks in the wake of UFC 280.
According to UFC lightweight champion Islam Makhachev, the rising UFC star is not expected to join his team.
“We train in different clubs,” Makhachev told Russian state-run news agency TASS.ru when asked whether it was a possibility. “So far there have been no plans or negotiations on joint training.”
Following UFC 280, which saw Makhachev claim the UFC lightweight title following a submission victory against Charles Oliveira, a cageside scuffle ensued between Chimaev and Khabib Nurmagomedov’s cousin, Abubakar.
