Khamzat Chimaev is one of the most eccentric and passionate fighters to ever enter the UFC octagon. Plus, he never forgets to show it off to his friends and rivals. Whether it is toying with an elite opponent while talking to the President or calling out the entire UFC roster, his fierceness knows no bounds.
The latest example being his scuffle with security guards back in his home country, Sweden. Apparently, ‘Borz’ was attending an MMA event where one of his teammates was also scheduled to fight.
Meanwhile, as the bout progressed, Chimaev was uncertain of the result and soon enough the opponent stopped his teammate. However, the 27-year-old believed that this call was an early stoppage and unfair.
