Khamzat Chimaev, the UFC middleweight champion, is not bothered by the fact that many fans believe he competes too infrequently.

“I don’t care. I make millions, and those people just talk and do nothing. I don’t care how often they work or how much they make. What matters to me is how much I make, and I earn more outside the UFC. I’m Khamzat Chimaev, and wherever I go, people want to sponsor me and do business with me. I used to live in the gym, and now I’m living the dream,” the undefeated Russian fighter said in an interview with Beyond The Win.
