Undefeated UFC fighter Khamzat Chimaev, who will represent the UAE from the next match, explained why he decided to move up to the middle division.
“This is a different division, different power. I eat differently, I don’t go hungry anymore. When I was middle-aged, I ate only rice: rice with chicken, rice with fish. It was kind of crazy. Now I work out more, eat more, have more energy. So everything is great.
Of course, I will still have to lose weight, but not as much as before. Over the next 25 days I will gradually reduce the amount I eat. Now everything is different,” Chimaev said in a release on his YouTube channel.
