Till said, “Me and Khamzat were getting our food the other day and he looks at me and he’s got like his big UFC bag and he goes, starts just ruffling everything… So then the next day, I was coming out to like the changing rooms and I heard one fighter say to like his friend, ‘… I’ve been coming here every day now for the past weekend, there’s no drinks.”

At UFC 273, Chimaev will be seen facing Gilbert Burns. This matchup will truly test Khamzat Chimaev’s skills as a fighter. Burns currently ranks at number two in the welterweight division, whereas Chimaev is at number 11. Thus, Burns will be his first highly ranked opponent and, perhaps, his toughest fight to date.
The 10-0-0 record holder has his undefeated streak on the line. If he defeats Burns, a title shot would not be that far. He is just four fights old in the UFC and already has a big following. Thus, his popularity will also be on the line.
