- Khamzat Chimaev exploded onto the UFC scene with three fights in as many months. His struggles with Covid waylaid his career but he returns at UFC 267.
BT Sport travelled to Sweden to investigate the origins of Khamzat Borz Chimaev!
Watch UFC 267 on Saturday 30th October from 5pm on BT Sport 2 HD - Sport
Paddy is acting like he’s the new cash cow but IMO khamzat is a way bigger star
He is better fighter but will not be a bigger star. Same as Khabib - Conor
@@vatravlahilor492 bro look at his following on socials, he’s already a star across the world, paddy sort of has the whole UK behind him but that’s it, I support paddy but I just think Khamzat is that guy yk
Hi what does "imo" stand for?
@@osman7240 in my opinion
@@osman7240 in my opinion
I’m just so happy he’s back... We have waited too long for his next fight
Feels like he hasn't fought in ages
If he looses at least he has the best excuse in existence. Long RONA AKA long bullshit.
@@gamebred6995 probably because he hasn't?
And he finished his fight too early
@@peternorman1943 nah he fought 3 times last year, it spoiled us, bet he only does 2 fights next year and the 2nd one is the title shot
This guy is a beast. One of the most exciting fighters in ufc right now imo
ever
more excited to see his fight than the main event
Lol glad to hear I'm not the only one feeling this way
Me me me too
Same
@moBCat islam vs khamzat at 170 who ya got?
@@icanaja8192 they won't fight until they will. Maybe after they both have dominated their division and something happens then Chechen vs Dagestan
Gonna sell bollocks
imagine him as champ he’d just be defending his title every 2 months and jumping weight classes
he is a true nigerians nightmare, he is gonna strip them both
@@jozefhorniak8191 lmao he is good but seriously thinking he has a chance right now against top 3 or even top 5 guys is wrong.
He literally never fights anymore
@@user-eq6uy3ok2b hes literally fighting in 4 days
@@dsy6238 so dana white and the ufc matchmaker was wrong for thinking he can beat leon?
"He was tough fighter but I smash his face" 😂😂😂😂😂
😂😂😂😂
In blood
This guy has a dangerous aura about him, could be an all time great I think. Definitely not a paddy the fatty or sugar Shane o 1 loss.
paddy is just soo overrated 😬
Khamzat Chimaev soon champ in welterwight even in middlewight he is something else🐺💯
@@heisenberg550 just another obnoxious loud mouth they need for the casuals
@@heisenberg550 he’s just a loud mouth Brit who’s gonna get taken down like they all do then lose.
@@improveself3263 Agree. tbh Darren Till was actually likeable but this paddy is so cringe and got that bad vibes on him.
People from Chechnya are built different. This guy is going all the way to the top, he is scary good.
He will be the most active champ soon. Also 2 division active champ. I believe he will be the greatest Ufc fighter ever. The guy is a machine his grappling, striking, cardio and power are all maxed out, the guy is an absolute beast.
Once him and Islam win their belts, it's game over for a while for 155 and 170.
@Thomas Starr I was just about to comment this, I can't see anyone beating them at 155 or 170, those divisions will be dominated by these 2
Gotta love the real thing. These donkeys like sterling (illegitimate) become champ and then duck and dodge for years. Once a year if that. Champion needs to be at least 3X year.
lol coming back to this with hindsight. Still hasn’t fought for the belt, missed weight, called everyone out and only beat smaller fighters than him. And his cardio is awful. I’m a huge fan but I think he will only be a 1 weight world champ and even then, I can’t see it for a while. His grappling is unbelievable tho
Whenever people get around this man, their beard starts to grow!!!! Warrior!!!!!!
Hahaha love this one 🤣
Lool 🤣 It's true everyone he fights too grows a beard before the fight
Being from Northern Ireland myself i was rooting for Rhys Mckee, but my god i didn’t realise how good Khamzat is!
He only got struck twice in his last 3 wins. He’s won more than he’s gotten hit so far 😂
@@howiestyles4938 he’s definitely up there with the best atm, i’d love to see him fighting Izzy sometime.
@@Cold_1995 rhys mckee is a good fighter aswell, I think he will make his way back to ufc 💪🏻🇵🇰
What's your favorite video game khamzat?
"Super smesh, brotha."
Hahahaha made my day!
Pubg
Khamzat vs usman us a dream match.
Nobody can give him a tough fight.
Colby Covington Is champ on Saturday. Mark my words
@@Spriel be real bro.
@@subm2455 usman is on beast mode..
Atleast khamzat need to reach his form to beat old usman.. that is the only way
@@Spriel nah
@@Spriel this aged well X😂
Proud to have him on the Swedish side! Such a beast!! :D
Cowards need mercenaries?
@@novaleptis3599 He's a mercenary?
thanks Sweden for help our ppl
Hes from Chechnya God bless Chechen resistors of Tyranny ❤️ They never destroyed nations for Israel like EU countries ;)
Sorry I dont know why I made that political I'm gonna stop now 😂❤️ God bless everybody
I AM OBSESSED WITH THIS GUY. He has same or more power than Usman and Colby in Striking. Better wresting. Let’s GO BORZ
Why would u compare his striking to colby or usman? Its so far ahead of both and neither of them are even knowing as elite strikers
@@unholylemonpledge9730 he means to say that he's capable of beating them. Which he absolutely is
@@KacperPpp fair
Colby is not even a big puncher at WW. He has only 4 ko's in 16 fights. Khamzat has 1 punch knockouts at MW
Definitely has more power
Li is a great opponent for him. Big step up from who he’s faced so far. If he beats him convincingly then I’ll understand the hype.
Li is going to perish
Li has never been finished in the first round before let alone picked up & carried to dana white corner then put to sleep like a baby 👶.
He smesh him
@@Csense-se5ke That was scary tbh, the guy is a beast
Picked up Li like a baby
We had a chechnian guy join our gym last year, the grappling control is just different level, hes still pretty raw with the stand up, but he picks things up super quick, hes 145 and im a big 155 small 170 and he gives me trouble most spars, they are the kindest most evil breed of ppl...
All their entire history for thousands of years they defended their mountain villages from invading armies. Its epigenetic I think.
@@unknownakhkosova5234 yh the evil part was in jest, i just mean hes a nightmare to spar cos hes so ruthless but still the best to hang put with after sessions
@@nokhchi1079 It has more to do with the Soviet sporting system, they encouraged and invested in different sports in different regions, boxing in Ukraine, gymnastics in Romania, weightlifting in Bulgaria etc so the sport quickly becomes part of the culture. They used it as a way to integrate.
@@revenone1077 For Chechenia the soviets investet 0.
@@unknownakhkosova5234 Russians invaded chechan and r"ped and killed them that's why not rebels but freedom fighters started fighting against Russians
This fight will be a big tell on whether Chimaev has fully recovered from COVID... provided it leaves the first round.
I’ve been more eager about his return than I was nick Diaz’s
Dude i was looking for a khamzat video all around the internet thanks
Name: Khamzat Chimaev
Occupation: I smesh brether
If he runs through Li like he has others I'll be seriously impressed. The real deal impressed. Smashing it at the moment tho, can only do whatvhes asked. LI is another unit of a guy, if khamzat don't steam roll him them li will test his chin. Gonna be exciting
U dont say this before gerald?
@@jimmyhb4012 Gerald really isn’t even top 10 Caliber. Jingliang is good.
Khamzat Chimaev soon champ in welterwight even in middlewight he is something else🐺💯
@@Rednblack900 he needs to take his time, not ready for Usman just yet but defo has the potential
@@jimmyhb4012 Gerald was a good test, he is seasoned, the fact he got KO'd in one punch is pretty wild
I see a lot of Khabib like qualities in Khamzat, great team member/leader, always pushing for excellence in his training.
There was a pause in watching UFC fight, now I am interested again. Can't wait to see his next fight
What i like the most about him is he doesn't take 6 months to fight and is willing to fight anyone and don't do huge weight cuts to fight smaller guys.
I hope his lungs have recovered 100% from covid.
Chill this is COVID not the plague, if he can’t defeat himself he shouldn’t step in that Cage trying to defeat someone else
@@unknownakhkosova5234 I have a family member who suffered from covid,
its been months and he feels good but his lungs are still not 100%.
I assume even a little less than 100% is gonna matter at that elite level cardio.
@@anonynousanon5008 Is your family member a professional athlete? How much do they weigh and do they smoke?
@@jmz2144 how many previous partners do they have? Do they have a mortgage? How much do they pay for their gas and electricity?
@@anonynousanon5008 I had Covid it was nothing like by the most it was nothing. So chill dude. And i say if he is not ready, if he can’t defeat himself, he would not step up in the cage.
First Dagestan, now Chechnya producing great UFC fighters. These guys are some of the toughest fellas in the world, with excellent grappling backgrounds. Looking forward to seeing Chimaev progress!
Caucasus may have the best warriors
@@MrPrebuttal warrior mindset
His striking is a way higher level than Khabibs and his grappling is equal.. His career will be the most entertaining ever lol as long as he doesnt injure himself training like Khabib 😂 They are the only ones who can beat themselves lool
@@nadjiguemarful grappling isn't equal to khabib's tbh
Although we haven't seen anything impressive ground game like khabib from him
The way he swoops in for the body lock and double leg behind his boxing is beautiful.
I hope covid hasn't affected him long term. Would love to see him fighting 100%
I'm pretty sure his coaches test him in the gym and wouldn't let him near the octagon until he was hitting at 100% again.
No ones their hundred percent after covid,
@@withcare1234 dude pretty much every single athlete in the world is getting it and thats just not true, not sure what examples of anyone not being back to 100% are but id love to hear your list.
@@withcare1234 none then lmfao
@@withcare1234 safe to say he is.
Great coverage BT Sport!
This man is ibra MMA version, a brash and confident individual.
Beast , best of luct for upcomoing project
Most complete fighter in the UFC in my opinion. I think he could only be stopped when he starts fighting at middleweight (maybe light heavyweight) and faces heavy punchers. Dude seems to be a lot bigger than other welterweights.
Great combination....cecen toughness and confidance with scandinavian work rate
Hope he has a strong comeback
From Gegard Mousasi i did not see somebody so fluent in movement as Chimaev.Fenomenal.I just love watching this guy fighting.And talking.Great guy.
Thanks for this video.
Borz is here and ready to smesh his way to the belt! 10-0 insha'Allah! 🐺❤️☝🏼
Inshallah
İnşallah
Don't start this religion nonsense
@@mrumarGTA shush
@@mrumarGTA inshallah, allahuakbar
Future champ. Hope he didn't lose a step with his illness from Covid. Heard he was in rough shape for a while. I love him. Just an absolute beast. So happy he's back.
Soooo much hype behind him I’m with it
Happy to see Khamzat back 🙌😃
The guy that made it to the 2nd round is a legend
He had me when he said”it was a tough fight but I smesh his face”
😂😂
i can’t wait to see him fight again
Friendly reminder he scored a 10-7 in that first round with John Phillips. When tf does that ever happen
Also only took like 2 punch's in 3 fights
@@leeh318 now he has taken 2 punches in 4 fights. Already close to legendary with these stats.
@@Lemaforthewin the people who say he's not this, he's not that have to understand how incredible he is for me it's more than the skill he possesses it's the fact that even in a fight he's calm and collected and listens to his coach's no one's expecting him to do that with Usman but the exciting thing is at the moment we've seen nothing that say he can't. that's why we're all hard for him atm
I can't wait the 4th fight in the ufc this guy is a absolute savage borz 🐺
Hamza is our Muslim brother & emerging star ma sha ALLAH Alhumdulillah ❤️ Love from Pakistan brother 🇵🇰😊
Why do Muslims love other fighters/ people so much just because they’re also Muslim? It’s kinda weird
@@thebpulse6477 Because in Islam every Muslim is your brother or sister, Faith in Allah for us makes us closer than blood, we are all 1 Ummah (google the word if u don't know).
@@mysticsmith4067 very well said ❤️🔥
tell 'em bro
@@thebpulse6477 because it's tribalistic 7th century cult mentality! They still live in medieval times!
Really looking forward to seeing Khamzat in action...he will show the world the heart of a Chechen beast...
UFC 267 card is fire and khamzat seems like he's stealing the show. All eyes on him. Lets go!
Probably the future of the UFC
To Khamzat, Li Jiangling represents COVID and he will take out all his rage and fury on him.
🤣🤣🤣🤣
good man.. good man😂
If that’s the case li’s the only one that gave chimaev an L so far lol
😂
😂😂😂
“So, surely with hardship comes ease” (Quran 94:5)
So excited to see Khamzat Dominate this weekend. There's something different about his energy that stands out. A mix of confidence and humbleness but also a vicious predatory instinct.
*humility
He already made history nobody ever did what he just did in the Ufc he is the best !!!
Nice video!
Excited to see more of this guy 👍
He's back to smesh everybody
🇸🇪🇸🇪🇸🇪
Smesh to become shempion
From Chechnya to the UFC.
Can’t wait for his return!
170 and 185 Champ...A beast
His highlights are him knocking people out.. the dude doesn’t fight he finishes it only 🤣
2020 sensation is back.. Imagine becoming a sensation during pandemic..🔥🔥🔥
2 fights in 10 days🔥🔥
3 fights in 2 months🔥🔥
These chechen guys are something different. Their lives are hard. In cage, they feel like in heaven, compared to what they've been through at home.
Come on am not the only person who love to see a fight between Khamzat and Izzy🤩
Khamzat is the scariest man in UFC
never a boring fight with khamzat ...always fireworks
They cant avoid forever
2:50 “My first professional fight was also in Sweden, It was tough fighter. But I smash his face and blood everywhere” 😂😂😂
I'm so proud that he chose to represent my country.
he will be champion and have all the belts in the future he’s a beast
Meerschart looked scared in there to a certain extent!!
Smashing on October 30
A rising beast with a humble heart 😁
Can’t wait to see him fight for the belt in the future
gets in to argument with everybody but very humble... right.
Very nice video
Khamzat is going to become the GOAT.
Gotta love his confidence and self-believe! At this point many will be trying to avoid him, just give him the championship fight
I really feel like this guy will be the Mike tyson of ufc. He's just got that crazy aggression. Hopefully he lives up to the hype 🙏🏽
I would like to see him soon in octagon
He has Jiren vibes coming. War back home joined a gym that adores him. Has only one goal is to be best.
Smegal got big big
Future Welterweight+Middleweight double champion
Chimaev... come on guys
𝚂𝚞𝚋 𝚖𝚎
I actually like this guy he seems cool lad I’m a fan hope he is champion one day soon
God bless the Irish love & respect from Algeria ❤️ Khamzat will keel everybaady brathar 🤣
This guy is a beast!
The hype is strong with this one.
Exciting fighter though, no doubt
welcome back
Future champ for sure💪💪
yall know that guy from one star reviews?these dudes could be brothers!
He has won over the fan base big time because he is wild in the cage.
I hope this guy can fight with Islaer Adasanya will be epic
1:40 Kickass combo !!!
He’s a great and exciting fighter but every great fighter will meet their nemesis someday.
Bra Jocke, du har blivit bra!!
Does he also plan to submit kamaro when he gets a title fight? Coz idont think he can out strike him
Khamzat is a really nice guy, i like his attitude.
Let see what he can do on a full training camp
its incredible how well they speak English over in Sweden.
from I fight every week to once a year. hope he's back
Insallah her macı kazanırsın allah gücüne güc katsın dualarımız senin ile 🐺🐺🐺
Khabib would of been a great challenge at his prime.
I wonder if he's suffering from long Covid or is as exciting as he 1st exploded on to UFC,
Definitely excited.
