Khamzat Chimaev entered the UFC with an undefeated record of 6-0 under his name. He quickly rose to ranks by mauling his opponents inside the cage. ‘Borz’ took very little to no damage in his fights and finished most of his opponents in the first round. His rise in the division looked quite similar to that of the former lightweight champion Khabib Nurmagomedov.
However, the number four ranked welterweight fighter Gilbert Burns gave a hard time to the Russian-born Swedish fighter in their fight last week. Although Chimaev won the fight via a unanimous decision, he absorbed a lot of damage from his opponent.
Chimaev’s bloodied face was enough for the fans to put an end to the Khabib-Khamzat debate. Many talked about the fight on the internet and also gave their thoughts on the debate.
