Khamzat Chimaev
Swedish mixed style fighter (MMA) Khamzat Chimaev criticized his American rival Gerald Mirshert. The athlete's words are quoted by MMA Junkie.
Chimaev promised to “kill” the opponent for showing disrespect. “He talks too much. He himself told me that I allegedly did not respect him, and he allegedly would smear me, ”Chimayev recalled. In addition, Mirshert is unhappy with the special treatment of the Swede on the part of the Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC). It is planned that Chimaev will again have two fights in a short time.
Chimaev has been compared to the Russian UFC champion Khabib Nurmagomedov. The Swede of Chechen origin is called the New Khabib after his spectacular debut in the organization. Chimaev won two victories in ten days. After that, he challenged the stars of the promotion. In particular, Jorge Masvidal and Damian Maya. Probably, the Swedish fighter will get a chance to fight with the latter after the fight with Mirschert.
Chimaev was born in Chechnya and moved to Sweden at the age of 16. He has eight victories in eight fights.
