One of the world’s most famous MMA fighters, Hamzat Cimajev, arrived in Sarajevo. Today, the great Chechen published a photo from one of Sarajevo’s gyms, thus delighting his fans from our country.
The news of his arrival spread like wildfire among local fans. Although the exact reasons for his visit to Sarajevo have not yet been officially confirmed, whether it was vacation, private obligations or potential sparring matches, one thing is certain, his arrival attracted enormous attention.
It is known that the former UFC champion enjoys enormous respect in Bosnia and Herzegovina, where many young athletes follow his recognizable, ultra-aggressive style and famous catchphrase “Smesh”.
Chimaev gained world fame in 2020 when he achieved two dominant victories in the space of only ten days, in two different categories, which is an unprecedented feat in the modern era of the UFC.
After that, he had numerous triumphs, and he suffered his first defeat a little less than two months ago against Sean Strickland. Then he lost the title of middleweight champion (up to 84 kilograms). He stated that he wants a rematch as soon as possible and the return of the belt to his ownership.
Chimaev, along with Ilija Topuria, Alex Pereira and Islam Makhachev, is certainly the biggest star of the UFC at the moment, Klix.ba writes.
