Khamzat Chimaev moves to 10-0 in a dominant performance against Li Jingliang on Fight Island at UFC 267
The UFC return of Khamzat Chimaev looked too easy for him, as he managed to score a first-round submission of Li Jingliang at UFC 267.
This marked Chimaev’s first fight since September 2020. Chimaev was diagnosed with COVID-19 in early 2021, and a nasty battle with the disease even had him contemplating retirement at one point.
“[Give me] Everybody! [I’ll] kill everybody!” Chimaev said in his post-fight interview. “I’m the champ! I’m the king!”
Khamzat Chimaev chokes out Li Jingliang in one-sided, successful UFC return
Chimaev shot at Jingliang right away, and after a brief grapple battle, got him down to the mat, proceeding to have a conversation with UFC President Dana White while doing so.
After a couple of minutes, Chimaev managed to flatten Jingliang out and land some ground-and-pound before sinking in a rear-naked choke. In spite of a great effort from Jingliang, it was too much. Jingliang managed to get out of one choke, but Chimaev switched sides and put Jingliang to sleep.
UFC 267 takes place on Saturday, Oct. 30, live from the Etihad Arena in Abu Dhabi. Follow along with FanSided MMA for all your news and highlights.
