Alexander Gustafsson, former UFC light heavyweight champion belt contender, shared his opinion on the organization's prospect Khamzat Chimaev.

“Khamzat is a welterweight but has the power of a heavyweight. He hits like a heavyweight. At the same time, he is fast, like a lightweight fighter. When sparring with him, it is better to keep your hands near your head. I'm not kidding, he really hits really hard," Gustafsson said on the MMA Hour.

Khamzat Chimaev will play his next fight against Gilbert Burns. The confrontation will take place on April 9 as part of UFC 273.
