All things considered, Dana White doesn’t think Khamzat Chimaev had a bad fight week for UFC 279. Chimaev was on many headlines last week ahead of his return to the octagon, and not all, were positive ones – at least according to some.

He’s an absolute beast.” Related Andreas Michael details Khamzat Chimaev's weight cut issues ahead of UFC 279: 'His body was seizing up' Josh Thomson: Khamzat Chimaev has 'a lot of great gifts
