Khamzat Chimaev's rise to fame in the UFC has been like no other. 'Borz' has made quite the name for himself in a short period of time and is currently one of the most famous fighters on the promotion's roster.
While Chimaev's striking abilities cannot be undermined, he is known for his grappling-heavy style. The same has often led to comparisons with Khabib Nurmagomedov as many believe that the Swede has trained under the former UFC lightweight champion.
However, that is not the case. 'Borz' trained under Andreas Michael at the Allstars Training Center in Sweden. However, it was recently announced that he has emigrated to the UAE. It is unclear if Michael is still coaching him at the moment. Alan Nascimento is the Brazilian jiu-jitsu coach of Chimaev. Moreover, UFC fighters like Alexander Gustafsson and Ilir Latifi are also a part of his team.
