As someone who is both a UFC fan and someone who also has a chronic illness. It is annoying seeing these comments about how he “lost to the flu” he likely has a chronic issue and is trying his best to deal with it. It’s very hard and taxing to try to do something as taxing as fighting with medical issues. At the end of the day health is wealth and yall can keep hating on him but he’s still undefeated and doin his best. More than any of you keyboard warriors are doing I’m sure.

[@WunnSEN]

People like you make me laugh lol. It's VALIDATED hate he receives and rightfully so. YOU DON'T get to say the absolute SHITE he's said and then pull out of as many fights as he does n still think you're not fair game to criticism.. What BACKWARDS thinking you have.

I love that Chimaev has consistently mentioned money in all of his interviews. His mind is very clear that this is about making money and it looks like he is not hyper invested in having the identity of being the best or being undefeated or being a champion or whatever.
