Khamzat Chimaev Nearly Retired from the UFC

Khamzat Chimaev was on the verge of retiring from the UFC at just 26 years old after battling a severe case of COVID-19. Once an unstoppable force in the welterweight division, the virus nearly ended his career, leaving him weak, coughing up blood, and unable to train. By March 2021, he announced, “I think I am done.” But Dana White refused to let him go, flying him to the U.S. for advanced treatment. Now, he’s one of the top contenders in the middleweight division, undefeated and on the verge of fighting for the UFC title. #KhamzatChimaev #UFC #MMA #UFCNews #Khamzat #MMAFighter #UFCFight #Chimaev #MMAFacts #UFCChampion #KhamzatVs #UFCContender #MMAHistory #UFCUpdates #fightgame
