'Suffer now to make them suffer later' - Khamzat Chimaev on future opponents and "fake gangsters"

It's been a long time since we last saw Khamzat Chimaev inside the octagon. As Borz has been sharpening his tools at Tiger Muay Thai we followed in his footsteps to bring this exclusive footage right from the jungle.

Much respect to Khamzat, his character and class are really showcased in how he talks about Rob Whitaker and also his friend Darren Till. I hope he gets a fight really soon. He deserves it and he's still training like he's in fight camp. Respect

[@truetrumpist5207]

We all saw how classy he acted around UFC 279🤣. I hope he learned from that because all in all it was kind of embarrassing for the sport. BUT, he's young, and he delivers in the octagon, so its all forgiven.

[@haddynuff]

He also got into a scuffle backstage, caused a scene at a couple of other events, disrespecting the fans, his employer, and his opponents by not only missing weight by a lot, but then not giving a shit, showing no remorse or even respect. I think he's a spoiled brat and a pain in the butt fir the ufc. He'll continue to get zero money and no fights till he pulls his head out of his arse and starts acting like a professional athlete (Although it didn't do Conor any harm in the beginning, but look at him now. Hasn't fought in years. Cumshot isn't Conor)
