• MMA record: 14-0
• Notable wins: Robert Whittaker, Kamaru Usman, Gilbert Burns

Khamzat Chimaev cemented his position as one of the scariest fighters in the world as he submitted Robert Whittaker in the first round at UFC 308.

No fighter has gained the kind of popularity as Chimaev did in his first couple of fights in the UFC since the haydays of Conor McGregor.

Now he’s on the brink of getting a title shot at middleweight, and quite frankly, it’s hard to see any 185er stopping him.
