UFC phenom Khamzat Chimaev beating heavyweight fighters in the gym: ‘He’s a f*cking animal’

Not even the heavyweights can hang with Khamzat Chimaev in the gym.

While he hasn’t been seen inside the Octagon since ragdolling Kevin Holland in the UFC 279 co-main event last September, ‘Borz’ has stayed active in the gym, honing his skills in hopes of scoring a big-money fight or a title opportunity in his highly anticipated return. Recently, Chimaev released a video of himself on YouTube training at the Allstar Training Center in Stockholm alongside MMA notables including Volkan Oezdemir and Irman Smajiu0107.

Smajiu0107, a 3-1 professional heavyweight, was apparently no match for Khamzat Chimaev despite having a considerable advantage in both size and power.
