Khamzat Chimaev felt nervous for Darren Till

In a recent interview with ESPN MMA, Khamzat Chimaev was asked whether he was coming to Las Vegas for Darren Till’s upcoming fight. The Swedish fighter confirmed his desire to be present at Till’s fight. He told ESPN that he called the ‘Gorilla’ earlier. However, Till might have been busy as he didn’t receive the call. Borz said, “So, we’ll see. We’ll talk to him today. So, maybe yeah. If everything is good, so why not. We’ll be there.”  

Then Chimaev was asked if he was nervous for his friend, given that he was injured previously. Unquestionably, Borz agreed to being nervous. He said, “Yes, of course, brother. So, I’m never know it was like when I fight, like me and Darren become so close, you know. Like, he knows my family, I know his family. I know his kids, they are so cute. He has three kids, three daughters, you know. So, I love that guy like my brother, you know. So, of course I’d be nervous.”

‘Borz’ and ‘Gorilla’

Chimaev and Till are two of the closest friends in the UFC world. Although they have their differences, the duo seem to complete what the other lacks. ‘Borz’ is a great wrestler, while ‘Gorilla’ is better with his striking game. The two fighters have always complemented each other. 

During UFC 273, Chimaev was perched on the Octagon with Till standing beside him. The moment went down in history as one of the many iconic moments shared by the ‘Smesh Bros’. In the post sharing that moment, Chimaev wrote, “I don’t care I will fight anyone. My brother @darrentill2.0.”
