The twelfth UFC welterweight, Neil Magny, asked for a fight with Khamzat Chimaev, and the American got the opportunity to fully experience what it’s like to face the Chechen Borz.
The fighters crossed paths in New York’s Henzo Gracie Gym and tested each other’s skills on the ground. An excerpt from a video posted online shows Chimaev dominating an opponent, landing a triangle choke and forcing a submission before they get up and start over.
