Khamzat Chimaev: Revitalized For UFC 308
Middleweight Contender Khamzat Chimaev Is Healthy And Has A New Team Behind Him Heading Into UFC 308: Topuria vs Holloway
www.ufc.comI don’t have live access to the latest news sources right now. Here’s a concise update based on recent public reporting up to early 2026:
- Khamzat Chimaev, known as “Borz,” has had intermittent activity and health-related pauses in recent years, with various outlets discussing potential returns and injuries. Some articles have highlighted hand injuries and other health concerns impacting his schedule.[2][3]
- There have been rumors and speculation about a return to action in 2024–2025, including talk of fights against notable welterweights and middleweights, but exact dates and opponents have repeatedly shifted due to medical issues and UFC scheduling.[3][7]
- In March 2026, there were sensational/social-media-style videos and thumbnails circulating about a hospital-related issue tied to Chimaev, but such reports require verification from official sources; UFC and major outlets did not confirm event cancellation at UFC 328 as of the latest broadly reported info.[5]
If you’d like, I can perform a fresh check and pull up-to-date sources for you, and I can summarize the current status with direct quotes and dates. Would you like me to do that?
