Summary: In a welterweight division chock full of good grapplers, Chimaev as one of the best. Enormously powerful and technical, he chain wrestles beautifully, reacting to every change in position by his opponent. Once on top, he has excellent control and punishing ground-and-pound. His striking remains a work in progress but can already be considered more than serviceable, with a deadly right cross, solid kicks and overall strong technique.
