Manager confirms unbeaten UFC star Khamzat Chimaev is set for fight return ‘Soon’ amid injury layoff

Majdi Shammas, the manager of Khamzat Chimaev, says fight news is coming soon for his client.

Chimaev has not fought since October when he beat former UFC welterweight champion Kamaru Usman by a majority decision at middleweight. Since then, many fans have been wondering when Chimaev will be back in the Octagon, and according to Shammas, the undefeated fighter will have fight news very soon.

“Soon news,” Shammas wrote on Instagram about Chimaev’s next fight.
