Khamzat Chimaev can be said to be the youngest star received the most attention in 2020. As soon as joining UFC, Chimaev showed excellent performance with 3 wins in 66 days, the most impressive is the Knockout Gerald Meerschaert after 17 seconds with just one punch. He is considered one of the best candidates who can prepare to compete for the Welterweight championship.
Unfortunately, Khamzat Chimaev was positive for Covid-19 at the end of 2020.
Despite escaping from the evil virus and trying to return to the stage, Chimaev's health problems still make fans worried. Difficulty breathing, drowsiness and fast tired, Chimaev many times had to quit training because health did not allow. Recently, UFC has brought Chimaev to the US for special care.
Last night, Khamzat Chimaev posted a picture of him coughing up blood on Story Instagram. After 6 hours, he posted a long status.
“I would like to thank all of you, you helped me to go very far on the MMA journey. I think this is the end of the game. Although I still have not had the championship belt, it is not the most important victory in this life.”
“It sounds disappointed, but my heart and body have said it all. I want to thank my team, Team All Star Sweden, and thank UFC.”
Khamzat Chimaev is only 26 years old and has 9 times of the radio, of which 3 matches are at UFC. If he stopped the game here, it would be a great regret for the audience.
