Khamzat Chimaev made huge waves in the MMA world with his astonishing return at UFC 267. 'Borz' overwhelmed his opponent Li Jingliang with his grappling skills, submitting him via rear-naked choke in the opening round.
UFC president Dana White was highly impressed with the Chechen-born Swede's performance. In a recent interview with TMZ Sports, White claimed Chimaev is the most dominant fighter through four bouts that he's ever seen in the promotion.
"This guy [Khamzat Chimaev] is like nothing anybody has ever seen. When you think about it, he's got more UFC wins than he's been hit inside the octagon. That's insane."
White also said the UFC is planning on approaching Stockton superstar Nate Diaz about a potential fight with Chimaev.
