Photo – Khamzat Chimaev shows off impressive physique ahead of Paulo Costa fight in UFC 294 comeback

Khamzat Chimaev shows off an impressive physique ahead of a middleweight clash against Paulo Costa later this year.

Finally, it has been announced that Chimaev has a fight booked after what will be 13 months out of action, with no reported injury, illness or visa issues. This is strange for someone who built is initial reputation for seemingly being willing to fight anyone at the drop of a hat.

Chimaev will take on marauding middleweight, Costa, at the 185lb limit in what could present the biggest challenge of his career. Last time out after missing out on a fight against Nate Diaz due to missing weight, ‘Borz’ took on Kevin Holland, easily dispatching of the American in just over two minutes.
