“I think he has more UFC wins than he has been hit with. This is crazy”, said the 'boss', in a press conference after the show.
In addition to being excited about the Swede's new victory, White made a point of pointing out the fighter's recovery power. Struck by Covid-19 at the end of last season, the Swede suffered serious consequences and even announced his early retirement from MMA.
“A guy who had been in phenomenal physical shape was hit really hard by Covid. Now, he's back. There is no doubt that this boy is special,” she concluded.
Against Jingliang, Khamzat once again impressed some of the fans and specialized press. Against a tough opponent, from the top 15, Chimaev wasn't even touched. The athlete needed just over three minutes to extinguish his rival with a rear naked choke.
With the victory, the Swede expanded the great moment in his career in mixed martial arts. Now, the fighter has 10 consecutive victories and continues without feeling the taste of defeat.
