UFC middleweight champion Khamzat Chimaev answered a question about the most difficult moment in his career.

“The hardest thing in sports is injuries and illnesses that I had. Maybe without it, I wouldn’t have become a champion. Or maybe I would have become a champion earlier. There were tough moments due to illnesses and injuries, I wanted to end my career. It happened many times. It turned out that my older brother, dear Ramzan Akhmatovich [Kadyrov], always supported me. He said that I would become a champion.”
