Khamzat Chimaev was back in action as he took on Kevin Holland in a five-round UFC 279 co-main event fight that took place at the T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas. There was a lot of drama in the build-up of this PPV as there was a backstage brawl between Chimaev and Holland.

Besides, The Borz was slated to fight in the main event against Nate Diaz but the UFC had to book a new fight after he missed weight by a significant margin. However, Chimaev didn’t let this affect his performance as he showed his class and submitted Holland in the first round of the fight.

As soon as the fight started, Khamzat rushed in and went for Holland’s legs and landed a takedown. He ragdolled Kevin and got into a great position very quickly. Thereafter he attempted a d’arce choke and it looked like Holland was in for a tough night.

Kevin Holland almost escaped the submission attempt but Chimaev was quick to reposition and locked in another d’arce submission after which Holland tapped out.

Despite all the backlash, Khamzat Chimaev received after missing the weight, The Borz stepped inside the octagon and put on a great performance and finished a tough contender like Kevin Holland. After submitting Holland, Chimaev was hyped up and he expressed his outrage in the post-fight interview with Joe Rogan.

“I’m the most dangerous guy here. I’m coming here for everyone. I kill everybody,” said Chimaev. Thereafter Rogan asked him the reason behind missing weight by 7.5 pounds. To which Khamzat responded by saying he doesn’t care about that as he destroyed Holland.

That is a scary, scary dude! 😳

“Of course, I’ll be at weight. I supposed to make that weight as well but doctor stopped me. Nobody can stop me. If I die, I die in the cage. I come and die in the cage.”

There is no doubt that Khamzat Chimaev is one of the most dominating fighters on the welterweight roster. But the UFC would be concerned of him not making weight as this would cause them big trouble in the future. Do let us know in the comments section your thoughts on Chimaev’s performance at UFC 279.
