Khamzat Chimaev's Incredible Display Against Rockhold
Khamzat Chimaev Shows No Mercy
Khamzat Chimaev's reputation as a gym killer is well-deserved. Numerous stories and videos highlight Chimaev running through his opposition in the gym. "Borz" has traveled the world, training with various teams, and the consensus remains: he’s a tough opponent for everyone! In the highlight clip, former UFC Middleweight champion Luke Rockhold learned this firsthand as he struggled defensively against the Chechen mega prospect.
Rockhold's Tough Challenge
- Despite having high-level grappling experience, Rockhold couldn’t launch any offense against Chimaev.
- Rockhold was recently injured at the Craig Jones Invitational tournament, which may have affected his performance.
Khamzat Chimaev remains unbeaten in his UFC career, having decisively overcome five of his seven opponents. Although Gilbert Burns and Kamaru Usman managed to extend their fights against him, Borz appeared more human. His next challenge lies ahead— a five-round co-main event against Robert Whittaker at UFC 308 on October 26, 2024, inside Etihad Arena, Abu Dhabi.
