Before joining this coveted promotion, Chimaev was Sweden's former 3-time national freestyle wrestling champion.

Khamzat Chimaev relies on his freestyle wrestling to take his opponents down and gain top control, similar to Khabib Nurmagomedov's style.

In his first two UFC fights, he landed 192 strikes while only receiving 2 in return. Chimaev's striking, though relatively untested, showcases power from the orthodox stance, employing basic boxing and kicks. He effectively combines his striking with his wrestling, using feints to set up takedowns. Chimaev has demonstrated knockout power, as seen when he KO'd Gerald Meerschaert in just 17 seconds with a single punch. Moreover, Chimaev has an undefeated record of 13 wins (13-0-0), with 5 victories by way of submissions, 6 through knockouts, and 2 via decision.
