UFC welterweight Khamzat Chimaev took to social media and has sent fans in a tizzy with his latest tweet. ‘Borz’ let it be known that his return to the UFC’s octagon was imminent, and he’s primed to be better than ever. The news comes in as a relief to fight fans as Chimaev had opened up about retiring not too long ago.
The front runner for ‘2020 Breakout Fighter of the Year’ has had a rather dismal 2021 with injuries sidelining him. In fact, it was the after-effects of COVID-19 that continued to plague him and prevented multiple fight bookings. With his recent tweet, it would seem as though Khamzat Chimaev is on the mend, ready to bounce back.

The Russian-Swedish fighter truly captured the imagination of MMA fans after his record-setting debut year.

His success was actualized on Yas Fight Island in Abu Dhabi, wherein Chimaev made a turnaround in just 10 days. Moreover, he was unphased by whether his fights took place at welterweight or middleweight.
