<p style="text-align: center"><strong>Khamzat Chimaev Net Worth 2024, Record, Weight, Height, &amp; More</strong></p>

<h2 style="text-align: center">Who is Khamzat Chimaev?</h2>
With a career record of 13 victories and 0 losses, Khamzat Chimeav is a rising star in the world of combat sports. Born on May 1, 1994, in Chechnya, Chimaev quickly made his name a synonym to the promotion with his dominant fighting skills. Starting his UFC journey by fighting in the welterweight division, 'Borz' jumped the division to fight at the middleweights. He is known for his aggressive wrestling and submission prowess, the fighter is nicknamed 'Borz' which means wolf in Russian.
<h2 style="text-align: center">Khamzat Chimaevâ€™s Early Life</h2>
Born on the outskirts of the village of Gvardeyskoye, Khamzat Chimaev was a child of war. His village was a part of the Chechen Republic of Ichkeria but after the war, it became a part of Russia's Chechnya. As his family was celebrating the birth of their son, a war was brewing near their borders. Months after Chimaev's birth, the First Chechen War began.

The first two years of his life are filled with scarcity as war tormented the hell out of their small village. 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>

<img src="https://image-cdn.essentiallysports.com/wp-content/uploads/GettyImages-1349756397.jpg" />

Chimaev grew up in a household of deficiency as they were three brothers and two sisters. His father used to work outside of Chechnya due to obvious reasons. 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>

Khamzat Chimaev and his family moved to Sweden when his older brother Artur moved to Sweden to seek medical treatment for torn ligaments in his shoulder he sustained in wrestling. Artur called upon his family to leave the wartorn place and be in Sweden for better opportunities.
