Khamzat Chimaev sometimes needs saving from himself.
Chimaev (14-0) is set to challenge Dricus Du Plessis (23-2) for the Ultimate Fighting Championship middleweight title in the UFC 319 main event on Aug. 16 at United Center in Chicago. Arman Tsarukyan has been helping Chimaev in his fight camp. Chimaev is known for overtraining, which has led to health scares in the past.
Tsarukyan revealed that Chimaev hasn’t completely changed his ways and continues to hit the bag or lift weights after sparring. However, “Borz” is constantly being monitored in this camp with a machine that checks his recovery.
