Nick Maximov is one of the rising prospects in the MMA world. Training under the tutelage of the great Diaz brothers, Maximov has been getting all the right mentoring to make him a UFC superstar. The fighter is currently undefeated in his professional career and holds a record of 8 wins and no losses. Maximov was one of the few fighters to call out the undefeated UFC fighter Khamzat Chimaev on social media. In a recent interview with renowned MMA reporter Ariel Helwani, Maximov gave his reason for calling Chimaev out. He said,” Well, it’s just funny because. He’s literally called out everyone in the welterweight division and no one’s saying anything. It’s like someone’s got to say something. He’s walking over everybody in the whole division. He’s literally talking over everybody and nobody’s saying a thing and it’s just like, how are you just gonna let him say that the whole time?” Maximov added, “He’s a good fighter, but it’s like I mean at least try. Is somebody gonna try to beat him? You know what I mean.” Before his fight got booked against Gilbert Burns, the ‘Borz’ called out many UFC fighters on social media. Some of the fighters he has called out are Kamaru Usman [https://www.essentiallysports.com/tag/kamaru-usman/], Colby Covington [https://www.essentiallysports.com/tag/colby-covington/], and Brock Lesnar [https://www.essentiallysports.com/tag/brock-lesnar/]. Khamzat Chimaev will take on the former title challenger, Gilbert Burns, in a welterweight bout on the 9th of April. The fight will take place at UFC 273, which is headlined by Alexander Volkanovski [https://www.essentiallysports.com/tag/alexander-volkanovski/] and Chan Sung Jung.

Chimaev rarely remembers anything about that time but according to him it was dreadful, <em>"But after [the war], you see the buildings down. I remember a lot of cars and military coming to my house, checking my house. At that time, it was normal to us. You see these things every day and it's normal, if you're a kid. I [eventually came to] understand it was war only in my country."</em>

He remembers that his mother used to eat whatever the kids left after their supper, <em>" [My mother thought] always about us," Chimaev says. "When you are young, you don't understand why she would give food to us and then [be] waiting for us. We finish the food and the things we left, she eats [only] this. Now, when I become older, I understand what she did."</em>
