Unbeaten middleweight contender, Khamzat Chimaev has sent hoardes of his fans into worry and panic across social media overnight, posting before then deleting a series of images of him in hospital, as he battled with an unknown illness after his return to the Octagon at UFC 294 back in October.

Chimaev, the current number nine ranked middleweight contender, made his most recent Octagon walk back in October in the co-main event of UFC 294, turning in a close, majority decision win over former welterweight champion and pound-for-pound leader, Kamaru Usman in Abu Dhabi, UAE.
