UFC Legend Compares Khamzat Chimaev to Michael Bisping: “He was murking people, he’s a different animal”

UFC legend Quinton ‘Rampage’ Jackson believes Khamzat Chimaev is reminiscent of a prime Michael Bisping.

Storming into the UFC five years ago, Chimaev went on an absolutely rampage — no pun intended — with three wins in just eight weeks. Everyone thought ‘Borz’ was on the fast track to fame, fortune, and UFC gold. Sadly, Chimaev’s momentum was halted due to an especially bad bout of COVID-19, but now the undefeated Chechen monster is ready to finally cash in on his long-awaited shot at a world title.

Emanating from the United Center in Chicago, Chimaev will challenge reigning and defending middleweight champion Dricus du Plessis at UFC 319 on August 16.
