Most people think mixed martial artists spend their downtime shadowboxing or staring at protein shakes, but Khamzat Chimaev has other plans. The undefeated UFC middleweight contender relaxes between training sessions by diving into video games.
Khamzat Chimaev and Video Games
Chimaev’s gaming preferences lean toward strategic combat, which makes sense for someone who spends his days figuring out how to submit opponents. He plays Dota 2, the multiplayer online battle arena game that turns ordinary people into keyboard warriors. The Swedish-based fighter posted photos on social media showing himself at the hero selection screen, though he appears to stick to unranked matches rather than the soul-crushing world of competitive ranking.
