Will Chimaev secure his title shot in Abu Dhabi?
Khamzat Chimaev is gearing up for a comeback and has his eyes set on UFC 308 in Abu Dhabi. He recently shared his excitement with fans, stating to Match TV, "Most likely [my return will happen] in October in Abu Dhabi. The opponent is not yet known, but I would like to fight for the title."
Chimaev's confidence is evident as he highlights his record: "I have seven fights, seven victories. There is no fighter in the UFC who has won seven fights without fighting for the belt." However, his journey back to the octagon hasn’t been without its challenges. Recently, Chimaev had to withdraw from a fight due to severe illness, which saw him hospitalized.
This isn't the first time his health has caused a setback, and it’s becoming a recurring issue. Despite these problems, his manager, Majdi Shammas, remains optimistic, stating that Chimaev will be back stronger.
Adding to his turbulent year, Chimaev has also been caught up in a crypto scam controversy. After launching his cryptocurrency, ‘Smash,’ he faced accusations of insider trading. Online security researcher ZachXBT detailed how Chimaev and his team allegedly linked team wallets with insider wallets, buying up 78% of the supply.
