Khamzat Chimaev’s Message to Swedish UFC Fans
“Borz” Promises a Return Soon!
Unfortunately, UFC star Khamzat Chimaev was unable to compete in the organization’s first-ever event in Saudi Arabia. Just weeks before his scheduled fight against Robert Whittaker, Chimaev had to withdraw due to a mysterious illness that resulted in hospitalization.
The Missed Opportunity
The fight against Whittaker was a prime opportunity for Chimaev to solidify his position in the middleweight division. Currently, Chimaev has not secured any victories over ranked opponents in this weight class, and previous main events he was scheduled for have fallen through for various reasons. When he debuted in the UFC, many hailed him as a future double champion. However, due to inactivity in recent years, fans’ interest in Chimaev has waned.
A Message of Hope
Despite recent setbacks, Chimaev remains hopeful. His manager confirmed that Chimaev has no plans to retire, and “Borz” himself recently shared an encouraging message to his Swedish fans on social media.
– “Hard times create strong men,” Chimaev wrote on Instagram. “I have never had it easy or waited for things to get easier. I will show you all soon who the King is here.”

Training Roots and Future Prospects
Chimaev began his UFC career training at the Allstars Training Center in Stockholm, representing Sweden in the octagon. Last year, however, he relocated to the United Arab Emirates and now represents his new country when he competes. This change does not mean he has forgotten his Swedish fans or his training partners at Allstars.
After an explosive start in the UFC, Chimaev’s future now seems uncertain. Visa issues and a series of health problems have stalled his momentum. It remains to be seen when Chimaev will make his comeback and if he can reignite his career. At 30 years old, he still has time to fulfill his potential.
Khamzat’s manager expressed their disappointment over the withdrawal but assured that Chimaev will return stronger after dealing with his health issues.
