"The point is they now let me rest and recover properly. I used to go to the gym and just train until I was done... But then I ended up in the hospital. Like the last time when I was in the hospital three times in a row within three weeks. My immune system went down, I got sick. Now I use a better approach. I work with good coaches. Salim raised a lot of champions. He also trained Buvaisar Saitiev for the Beijing Olympics. With people like that, I'm going to take a big step forward."
"Chimaev's seemingly promising UFC career has not fully lived up to its expectations after being plagued by a lack of activity in recent years."
"Most recently, Chimaev was scheduled to headline UFC Saudi Arabia against Robert Whittaker this past June. However, 'Borz' pulled out with less than two weeks to go after becoming violently ill."
"The booking between Whittaker and Chimaev is now rescheduled for UFC 308 on Oct. 26 at the Etihad Arena in Abu Dhabi."
