Khamzat Chimayev, a Swedish mixed-style (MMA) fighter of Chechen origin, known as New Khabib, spoke about his relationship with former UFC lightweight champion Khabib Nurmagomedov. His words are quoted by “Championship.com”.
“I’ll shake his hand. We are Muslims, my brother is Dagestan, I have a lot of Dagestani brothers, I love them. On the Internet, they write a lot and talk bad about us. I don’t know what’s in their heads, ”the athlete reacted to rumors of a conflict with Nurmagomedov. He added that he respects fighters who do their job well, and congratulated Nurmagomedov’s ward Islam Makhachev on his victory at UFC 267.
At the same tournament, New Khabib defeated Chinese Li Jingliang by choke hold. For a fighter, this is the fourth consecutive victory in the UFC. He has never lost in MMA. He now has ten victories in ten battles, all of which ended ahead of schedule.
In May, Chimaev ridiculed Nurmagomedov for the fact that he did not resolve his issues independently, and threatened his family. Prior to that, he promised to break the fighter in the octagon. The conflict was later settled.
