Famous UFC fighter Khamzat Chimaev shared his thoughts on his shape ahead of his fight against former UFC middleweight champion Robert Whittaker, scheduled for October 26 at UFC 308 in Abu Dhabi, UAE.
I feel great. I've never been in training camps like this before. I’ve never had coaches or this level of professionalism around me. I’m just a street guy, I grew up on the streets, so all my fights felt like street fights, but now I’m approaching it a bit more professionally. I really enjoy it, I feel amazing. I think I should be the best Khamzat that has ever stepped into the cage.
