Less than a year earlier, Khamzat Chimaev was on a fast lane to Mixed Martial Arts superstardom. However after a prolonged battle with COVID-19, it’s looking like that journey has actually concerned an abrupt end.
The 26- year-old Chechnya-born fighter just recently took to Instagram to say he’s “done” with his expert profession. This statement came just a couple of days after calling out Neil Magny for a battle in June.
Via Google Translate:
I wish to say thank you to everybody for their support in my path in this sport. I think I’m done. Yes, I know that I didn’t take the belt, but this is not the most important success in this life. It might distress you, however my heart and body tell me everything.
I wish to state a huge thank you to my team @allstarsgymsweden
I wish to say thank you so much. @ufc #allhamdulillah
He also published some rather worrying images on his Instagram stories.
Chimaev likewise posted the following in his Instagram Story about 25 minutes earlier.
