Rising UFC star Khamzat Chimaev has been inactive for a considerable period. But he has not stopped his training camps. However, he caught the attention of his fans and some other UFC fighters after roughing up a sparring partner during a boxing session. The video clip, uploaded by ESPN, has gone viral on social media.

Khamzat Chimaev is yet to be defeated in a UFC fight. He boasts an undefeated 12-o record, which can be credited to his habit of rag-dolling opponents during his fights. He recently showed another snippet of his ferocious attitude during a training session in a gym in Gothenburg in Sweden.

Khamzat Chimaev roughs up his sparring partner

A clip of ‘Borz’ sparring with a member in a boxing fight in an MMA cage has caught the eyes of fans. Things started at a slow and steady pace. But then it took a turn for the worse. While Khamzat Chimaev was landing some good blows, his sparring partner landed a right hook on Chimaev’s head, which prompted the Swedish star to remove the hat he was wearing and get into a mauling mode.

Khamzat Chimaev proceeded to land some fast and hard blows to his sparring partner, as the latter could only stand there and block his shots. However, the plan didn’t work as much as he expected it would. Chimaev, who claims that people are scared to fight him, landed some nasty blows to the head that totally shook his sparring partner. The fans took notice of the video on Instagram and shared their reactions to it.
