Khamzat Chimaev: The Unstoppable Force in BJJ and MMA
Khamzat Chimaev Showcases Dominance in BJJ Match
Khamzat Chimaev's reputation as a gym killer is well-deserved. At this point, there are numerous stories and videos of Khamzat running through his opposition in the gym. Borz has traveled all around the world, training with a multitude of teams and camps, proving to be a challenge for anyone on the mats. In the highlight clip, the former UFC Middleweight champion, Luke Rockhold, finds himself on the defensive against the Chechen mega prospect. Despite Rockhold's history of elite grappling, he struggled to mount any offense during this gym match up vs. Chimaev.
Rockhold's Struggles and Chimaev's Rise
In Rockhold's defense, he recently injured his back at the Craig Jones Invitational tournament, which may have hindered his performance. Nonetheless, Chimaev's dominance extends beyond the gym, as he remains unbeaten in his UFC career, overwhelming five of his seven opponents. It's notable that when Gilbert Burns and Kamaru Usman managed to endure the early onslaught, Borz seemed slightly more human.
