Newly-crowned middleweight champion, Khamzat Chimaev, returned home to United Arab Emirates (UAE) following his Dricus du Plessis victory atop the UFC 319 pay-per-view (PPV) event last weekend in Chicago. Upon touchdown, “Borz” was mobbed by adoring fans hoping to snap a pic with the undefeated MMA phenom.
Have a look:
“He prepared very well, his gas tank held up,” former UFC middleweight champion, Israel Adesanya, said on his YouTube channel.
“Not what I expected, but I’m glad he fixed his cardio, or improved his cardio to the point where he can go five rounds and just rag doll people. That’s a mess. That’s a mess to deal with. He didn’t even slow down. He slowed down DDP. He slowed him down, which is very impressive. The division is in good hands.”
Chimaev is hoping to make his Octagon return as soon as UFC 321 in Abu Dhabi.
