Footage has resurfaced from Khamzat Chimaev's first amateur MMA bout, which took place in September 2017 in Sweden under the Fight Club Rush promotion. Chimaev won the fight by rear-naked choke in the second round. He compiled a 3-0 amateur record before transitioning to professional MMA the following year in 2018. His opponent in that debut, Khaled Laalam, is now 7-1 as a professional and competes in UAE Warriors. Fight Club Rush continues to operate and their events are broadcast on UFC Fight Pass.
