Chimaev will not return before April

Dmitriy Kel Nov. 21, 2025, 11 a.m.

UFC middleweight champion Khamzat Chimaev shared when he plans to hold his first title defense.

“My return? After Ramadan. I will have a small surgery on my leg. I’ll take a couple of weeks off training, heal my injury. After that, we'll be preparing. Whoever they give, we will beat,” Chimaev stated.

Let us recall that Chimaev won the belt in August by unanimous decision against Dricus Du Plessis.
