Why did Khamzat Chimaev announce retirement in March?
Khamzat Chimaev announced his rather short-lived retirement after suffering from complications because of COVID-19. The promising prospect took to Instagram to pen down an emotional revelation. UFC President Dana White also told the press that the disease is affecting Chimaev’s health and he cannot continue for this time period.
“I want to say thank you all so much for supporting me in my journey in this sport. I think I’m done, yes I know I didn’t take the belt but it’s not the most important victory in this life. It may upset you but my heart and body tell me everything.”
Reportedly, the UFC made a fight between Khamzat Chimaev and Leon Edwards in January, however, ‘Borz’ could not take part as he got diagnosed with the Corona Virus. Later, the match was rescheduled for March, but Chimaev could not take that as well.
It took a toll on Chimaev’s mental health, as a fight with Leon Edwards would have been the biggest one in his career. Notably, all this led the 27-year-old to take such an unexpected step.
