After his win against Li Jingliang, he also managed to defeat middleweight Jack Hermansson in a wrestling match. This depicts the kind of expertise he has as a fighter.

And he is literally willing to fight anyone. And doesn’t care what the time frame is or any of that stuff. So, ya no, he’s one of the baddest dudes I’ve ever, ever come across.”
White hopes to soon find an opponent for the Russian-born Swedish fighter. He said, “Hopefully, this week, we’ll have an opponent for him. Nobody wants to fight this guy. Everybody wants to get out on social media and say this and say that, blah blah blah. But when it really comes down to it, nobody’s trying to fight Khamzat Chimaev.”
“At the end of the day, when you’re a professional fighter, you know. I mean this is what you do. You should look at a guy with this much hype … as a huge opportunity.”
