Khamzat Chimaev: “When I knock out my opponents, my mother…”

Khamzat Chimaev is one of the most dangerous fighters in the UFC, he who has an extraordinary fight, and fists like power phenomenal. If the fans love to see him, his mother is more reluctant. The proof, when he knocks out his opponents, she reacts in a rather particular way.

Khamzat Chimaev fans will have to be patient before seeing the prodigy in a UFC cage again. Easy winner of Kevin Holland last September, despite the huge fiasco he caused on the eve of the eventthe Swede has still not found an opponent who agrees to face him… At least that’s what he says in the media.

In fact, according to the latest rumors relayed by specialists, he should make a long-awaited return next October, in Abu Dhabi, where Muslim fighters are always welcomed like kings. It remains to be seen who will stand against him in the octagon… Israel Adesanya, for his first attempt to become champion? Colby Covington, for a duel between loudmouths?

Khamzat’s mother cries for her opponents…

Anyway, there is one who must be very happy at the moment, it is Borz’s mother, who does not want to see her son practice such a dangerous sport. She visibly resents the violence of MMA, and when she sees her son in the cage, she can’t help but worry. In any case, this is what Khamzat said in an interview granted to ESPN :

My mom never comes to my fights, she says she doesn’t want to see me fighting. She prefers to watch them later on TV. When I win, she asks me if I’m a champion. I have to explain to him that it takes more fights to become one. Once I knocked out a guy, she called me crying to ask me if he was dead.

It is difficult for Khamzat’s mother to understand her son’s profession, so she never goes to see him in person when he climbs into the cage. Great sign of compassion, she doesn’t even feel happy for her offspring when he wins, she’s rather worried about her defeated opponents… When we see the great pain of Alex Pereira’s children after his recent defeat against Izzy Adesanya, we understand why Mrs Chimaev is abstaining.

The issue of families is very important for fighters of MMA. Some do not hesitate to bring an entire tribe to feel support, and others, like Khamzat, prefer to ply their trade away from their loved ones.
