Khamzat Chimaev's rise was predicted as far back as 2017 when nobody knew his name
During a Q&A with fans ahead of UFC Fight Night: Auckland in 2017, Stann was asked if he knew of any up-and-coming fighters who deserved a chance in the company.
“He’s not in the UFC yet, but he has a whole lot of success with all of the big names that train out of MMA All-Stars in Stockholm, and when we get this kid signed, I think he’s going to make some real waves.” Chimaev dominated and dispatched Welsh middleweight fighter John Phillips inside two rounds on the undercard of UFC Fight Night: Kattar vs. Ige.
A tough battle with COVID-19 followed for the UFC’s newest star, who was sidelined for one year before he returned to action against ranked welterweight contender Li Jingliang on the undercard of UFC 267 in October.
