In the middle of the street in Dubai, the crazy sequence of the terrible Khamzat Chimaev!
While his next fight against Paulo Costa will take place in Abu Dhabi, Khamzat Chimaev has decided to do his training camp in the Emirates. He was also treated to an incredible pleasant surprise when walking around Dubai!
Proud of his Chechen origins, he has nevertheless always represented Sweden in the UFC octagon. However, this will no longer be the case. Khamzat Chimaev has indeed just obtained Emirati nationality and will unofficially defend its colors during his next appearances in the cage. A choice which has been the subject of numerous criticisms in recent hours but which testifies to his affection for this territory.
The incredible gift received by Khamzat in Dubai
Before facing Paulo Costa in Abu Dhabi in a few weeks, Chimaev has returned to the Emirates to spend the final weeks of his pre-fight preparation. The opportunity for him to take advantage of the beautiful training facilities, but also to attest to his popularity on site. A recent outing in the streets of Dubai allowed him to receive a truly exceptional gift, namely… a new Rolex!

Surprised by this most improbable gracious gesture, Khamzat seemed almost embarrassed to receive it. This, before displaying a big smile once the luxury watch is placed on his wrist. It must be said that inheriting such an accessory for free is enough to delight any man, regardless of his wealth. Many Internet users commented on these astonishing images and had fun with them on the networks:

To be fair, the average Starbucks barista probably makes more than half the ufc roster

In reality, a basic barista at Starbucks must probably touch more than half the UFC roster there.
While he certainly has no reason to complain about the state of his bank account, that didn’t stop Khamzat Chimaev from enjoying the free Rolex he just received. A good way to approach the shock that awaits at UFC 294 with good humor!
