Almost two years back, Neil Magny was calling out the welterweight prospect on the rise, Khamzat Chimaev. Since then, Magny became the welterweight fighter with the most wins in the division, and Chimaev is inching closer to the title fight. However, in a sudden turn of events, both fighters are spotted training together.

The fans spotted both welterweight fighters learning the minute details of BJJ at the noted gym, Renzo Gracie gym. What’s more? Chimaev made his rival tap out and showed him glimpses of the fight that never materialized between them.

However, in another sparring video, the undefeated UFC fighter made his new training partner tap out.

As per the speculations and some reports, ‘The Haitian Sensation’ will exchange blows with Gilbert Burns at UFC 283 in Jan 2023. Notably, the #12 ranked welterweight fighter is coming with a Performance of Night win over Daniel Rodriguez. But his opponent in Brazil, ‘Durinho’, possesses grappling skills, unlike others.
