Till said, “Me and Khamzat were getting our food the other day and he looks at me and he’s got like his big UFC bag and he goes, starts just ruffling everything… So then the next day, I was coming out to like the changing rooms and I heard one fighter say to like his friend, ‘… I’ve been coming here every day now for the past weekend, there’s no drinks.”

But it turns out that Till was just pulling Chimaev’s leg with the answers he gave.

In a video released by ‘Frontkick.online’, Chimaev and Till got into a friendly banter about this story. As per Chimaev’s version, it was Till who put food in his bag.

Khamzat Chimaev said, “Yeah, you said it was me. .. He said ‘open your bag’. I opened the bag, he poof. So the everything. Not just the milk, brother. Everything from the kitchen. A lot of food, that’s different people’s food as well.”
