“Shoots like a CHEATER” – Fans brutally trolls Khamzat Chimaev for not respecting a glove touch against Kevin Holland

Khamzat Chimaev wins at UFC 279

Khamzat Chimaev was originally scheduled to main event UFC 279 against Nate Diaz but the fighter failed to make the weight. After that things changed when Chimaev was matched up with Kevin Holland in a catchweight bout at 180 lbs. The fans were equally excited for this fight but nobody expected the results to be this one sided.

Chimaev was welcomed by boos from the crowd as the fighter was unprofessional and didn’t make the weight. However, that didn’t affect the performance of the ‘Borz’. As the fight started, Chimaev shot for the legs and didn’t give Holland any chance to react. It looked like Holland wanted to touch the gloves again after the fight had started but that wasn’t necessary.

The fighter immediately got into a dominant position and started looking for a submission. Holland tried his best to struggle but it wasn’t enough. Chimaev successfully got the submission and the fight was finished in the second minute of the fight.
