Khamzat Chimaev, the undefeated middleweight fighter, has initiated a unique challenge at his gym, offering one million rubles to anyone who can submit him during training. While he admits to allowing young fighters some openings, he emphasizes the seriousness of his grappling matches, stating he hasn't been successfully submitted in a long time. Recently, his teammate Abubakar Vagaev came closest to achieving this challenge. Chimaev’s confidence is bolstered by his recent victory over Robert Whittaker, positioning him as a leading contender for the middleweight title.
"Anyone who submits me during training gets a million rubles from me. It hasn't happened in a long time. When I'm fooling around with young guys, I give up my neck, but when we have a serious grappling match, I offer a million rubles to anyone."
"The guy sitting next to me [Vagaev]. I won't point fingers, or it'll be his moment of fame (laughs)."
