Khamzat Chimaev recently engaged in a charity grappling event alongside prominent YouTuber and public speaker Mohammad Hijab. This was during his vacation to the UK, in a beautiful demonstration of sportsmanship and generosity. The event aims to raise awareness and finances for the continuing Israel-Palestine conflict, with a special emphasis on the well-being of conflict-affected children.
The video is a short one at around 35 seconds. It starts with both Khamzat Chimaev and Hijab squaring off with one another. A background announcement of the iconic ‘Let’s get ready to Rumble’ is heard.
Hijab took the initiative for the takedown with a single leg. He was however unsuccessful in taking down the UFC middleweight. As they get back to their feet, they exchange a few takedown attempts with no takedown. Finally, Chimaev gets a hold of Hijab and pins him to the ground. It is then called off and both hug it out as the video ends.

Both contestants displayed good sportsmanship during the brief grappling session, and the event finished with a meaningful hug between Chimaev and Hijab.
