Despite not being active inside the Octagon, Khamzat Chimaev finds himself in the headlines ever so often. Be it his clashes with people outside the cage or just Chimaev being himself, he simply cannot seem to escape the media. As such, he now finds himself in the middle of a fresh controversy.
In a recent video that has surfaced on social media, Borz is seen driving a car with 3 girls inside. Whilst this in itself was enough to get people’s attention, there was even more to the story. Upon further inspection, the girls seem to be on the younger side as well. Notably, they appeared to be carrying backpacks, indicating that they could be schoolgoers.

For the most part, MMA pages and fans online have quickly jumped to conclusions. Flooding the comment section with their theories as to why the girls are there, they all seem to imply something completely inappropriate. As such, Khamzat has since had to give his explanation on the matter. “When you help someone people show it differently”.
Thus it would appear that Khamzat is simply helping and aiding these girls, contrary to fan opinions. Thus, one can assume that the girl making the video was happy that she and her friends were able to get a ride from a UFC fighter and renowned personality. Although fans have questioned Khamzat’s behavior with women in the past, especially when he nearly choked out his training partner, Sanja Trbojevic.
Is Khamzat Chimaev married?
Whilst many were indicating that Khamzat was ‘enjoying’ the company of younger women, many forget that he is actually a married man. However, since the matter was such a private one, it is understandable why many people do not remember it. Previously, Khamzat’s good friend Ramzan Kadyrov took to social media to announce and congratulate the UFC fighter for his marriage.
Kadyrov, whose sons train with Chimaev, is the head of the Chechen Republic. On the occasion, Kadyrov penned a grateful message to Chimaev for hosting him and blessed the couple with his best wishes as well. Thus, Khamzat has been married since May 2022 but chooses to keep his private life away from social media. Hence, there is not even a single picture of Chimaev with his wife either.

Previously, a lot was made of Chimaev and Tatiana Suarez’s relationship as well. Although they share a good camaraderie, fans, as always, tried to cook up a new story where there was none. Thus, it would appear as though Chimaev focuses most of his time on training and fighting rather than pursuing women. Currently, Chiamev is on a roll in the UFC, going 6-0.
Previously, he collected yet another breezing victory at UFC 279 against Kevin Holland. However, Chimaev infamously missed weight on the occasion and has since been touted for a move up to middleweight. Thus, it remains to be seen who he will face inside the Octagon next.
