Former UFC light heavyweight champion Jiri Prochazka told how undefeated welterweight Khamzat Chimaev once broke his rib during sparring.
The rib wasn't completely broken. I didn't even notice it during sparring. But it doesn't matter - I know how the sparring went and I stay calm. It was good sparring and I took it. Khamzat was good, but sparring with Gustafsson was better.
