"How did this man beat Whittaker?" - MMA X reacts to Khamzat Chimaev setting the floor on fire with "gladiator dance moves"

MMA fans recently reacted to Khamzat Chimaev's dance moves, with many taken aback to watch the ferocious Chimaev's lighthearted side.

Chimaev's dominant victory over Robert Whittaker at UFC 308 placed him firmly in the run for the next title shot. However, the face crank with which he ended the fight dislocated three of Whittaker's lower incisors, showcasing how scary 'Borz' can be as an in-octagon rival.

A recent X update from @ChampRDS exhibited Chimaev enjoying his life outside the UFC with a few steps of Lezginka (a Caucasian dance form) at a party. Chimaev was also accompanied by a blonde lady on the dance floor.

The comments section of the post showcased that most fans were surprised to see Chimaev rock on the dance floor. Many of them also appreciated his moves. One such comment read:

"How did this "man" beat Whittaker....[?]"

Others penned:

"This is gladiator dance moves."

"This man can do anything!!"

"From "Smesh everybody" to "Dance with everybody""

Khamzat Chimaev's former rival provided a prestigious title to his UFC 308 submission victory

Even the former UFC welterweight champ and former pound-for-pound king, Kamaru Usman failed to stop Khamzat Chimaev's victory train during their meeting. The two fighters locked horns at UFC 294 where Chimaev eventually earned a majority decision victory over Usman.

Despite being former rivals, Usman recently appreciated Chimaev's commanding victory over Robert Whittaker at UFC 308. In a recent episode of the Pound 4 Pound podcast, 'The Nigerian Nightmare' also awarded Chimaev with his Submission of the Year award for 2024 for his performance at UFC 308:

"The best submission of the year, this one is easy for me. Let's start with Khamzat [Chimaev]... It wasn't even a deep choke. It wasn't even like a choke on the neck, blood or breath, or wind and choke you out. No. It was over the face, and he was like, 'I'm so strong I'm going to crush your jaw and your teeth with my forearm."
