Russian-born fighter Khamzat Chimaev is one of the most exciting fighters that the UFC has ever witnessed. The undefeated welterweight and middleweight fighter is currently 11 wins to no losses in his professional career, out of which five are in the UFC.

‘The Borz’ is coming off one of the biggest wins in his career after he beat Gilbert Burns at UFC 273 last month. Even though the bout was extremely close, Chimaev walked away with a unanimous decision over the Brazilian. The fighter is only five fights down at the UFC and is already one of their biggest cash cows.
