In the last couple of years, MMA fighters have gained the notoriety of helping out the general public. Kevin Holland has helped out his neighborhood on many occasions. He thwarted robberies with his special set of skills. However, fighters like Nate Diaz use their skills to fight other individuals outside the octagon. Regardless, the actions of Dzhahar will not be forgotten by the MMA community.

Undefeated fighter Khamzat Chimaev will hope to compete against middleweight champion Israel Adesanya. However, Chimaev thinks that UFC keeps protecting Adesanya from him. On his YouTube channel, Chimaev talked about fighting Adesanya.

Chimaev said, “I’m a bad matchup for him. Everyone knows he’s going to lose the title [if we fight]. That’s why they save that guy. You know they built him up. They don’t want to lose him that fast. [I’d] finish that guy without punches, and that’s why they’re scared. Then [his] story’s dead, you know? They don’t want to kill that guy.”

If Chimaev can defeat a top-ranked fighter in the middleweight division, he can compete against Adesanya for the title. Chimaev predicted that Adesanya would lose in a few minutes. However, he believes that the UFC wants to protect Adesanya.
