Khamzat Chimaev was a guest on the Azamat Chef program, where he mentioned the name of the opponent who posed the toughest test for him in the UFC octagon.

– The most difficult opponent in my career? Kamaru Usman, he defended my wrestling well, his wrestling stands at a solid level.

Khamzat Chimaev appreciated not only the Nigerian’s wrestling, but also that on the first floor he was able to defend himself in difficult positions well enough not to be submitted.

– He also defended himself well against my grappling, not just wrestling. He didn’t want to give up his neck. I tried to pin the choke for five minutes however he defended against it very well.
