Indeed, the Swedish-Chechen stepped on the UFC octagon for the last time in September 2022. He faced Kevin Holland at catchweight during the co-main event of UFC 279, and defeated him by submission in the 1st round. . Originally, Khamzat was scheduled to face Nate Diaz at welterweight in the main event. But after missing the weigh-in by several pounds, the UFC rearranged the card.<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" class=\"x1ejq31n xd10rxx x1sy0etr x17r0tee x6ikm8r x10wlt62\" src=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/plugins\/video.php?height=476&amp;href=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.facebook.com%2F100095099064887%2Fvideos%2F668290255218611%2F&amp;show_text=false&amp;width=476&amp;t=0\" width=\"476\" height=\"476\" frameborder=\"0\" scrolling=\"no\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Subsequently, many speculations arose as to the career of Khamzat Chimaev. After months of waiting, the return of &#8216;Borz&#8217; is finally official: the athlete will face Paulo Costa during the co-main event of UFC 294. The two men do not like each other. They constantly insult each other on social media, and even had a big fight at the UFC Performance Institute. A few months before the event, the native of Beno-Yurt seems sharp and\u2026 vindictive.<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" class=\"x1ejq31n xd10rxx x1sy0etr x17r0tee x6ikm8r x10wlt62\" src=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/plugins\/video.php?height=476&amp;href=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.facebook.com%2F100095099064887%2Fvideos%2F947589863208222%2F&amp;show_text=false&amp;width=267&amp;t=0\" width=\"267\" height=\"476\" frameborder=\"0\" scrolling=\"no\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>Khamzat Chimaev is hungry<\/strong><\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Man I am HYPED UP to see the return of Khamzat Chimaev at middleweight \ud83d\udc3a (via <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/KChimaev?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">@KChimaev<\/a>) <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/Dn4qTwvZJi\">pic.twitter.com\/Dn4qTwvZJi<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&mdash; Chamatkar Sandhu (@SandhuMMA) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/SandhuMMA\/status\/1684997068765499392?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">July 28, 2023<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">UFC 294 promises to be the event of the year.
