UFC Qatar’s Backstage Shove Wasn’t Hype, It Was Attention-Chasing

Khamzat Chimaev has been involved in some chaotic moments during his rise, but this one might be the strangest. The backstage shove he delivered at UFC Qatar didn’t feel like intensity, rivalry, or even competitive fire. It just felt weird, even by UFC standards. Considering how unhinged the MMA universe can be on a normal day, that says a lot. This entire week has been packed with chaos, drama, and odd behavior across the roster.

At some point, Dana White might actually have to consider stepping in, because like it or not, the sport already gets slapped with the stereotype of being full of childish savages.
