Khamzat Chimaev has shared images showing his current physical condition as he prepares for UFC 328. The photos were posted by UFC Eurasia on social media. While the post does not provide extensive detail about his training camp or specific preparations, it offers fans a glimpse of Chimaev's readiness. UFC 328 represents his next appearance in the octagon. The images suggest he is maintaining his conditioning ahead of the event.
Khamzat Chimaev has gone public with images of his physical condition less than a week out from UFC 328, with UFC Eurasia sharing the photos on social media as "Borz" closes out his training camp.
Chimaev enters the event as the number-one ranked middleweight in the UFC and sits tenth in the pound-for-pound standings, carrying a 15-1-0 professional record at 32 years old. The six-foot-two, 188-centimeter wrestler-striker out of the United Arab Emirates, training out of Allstars Training Center in Sweden, has built one of the most well-rounded statistical profiles in the division. He lands 4.04 significant strikes per minute at a striking accuracy of 60 percent, while also generating 5.29 takedowns per 15 minutes — a rate that puts him among the most dangerous grapplers in the middleweight picture. He adds 1.8 submission attempts per 15 minutes, giving opponents no safe ground to stand on.
The photos shared by UFC Eurasia offer no specific detail about his opponent or training methods, but they do signal that Chimaev is maintaining his conditioning heading into Saturday's card.
Why it matters
- Chimaev is the top-ranked middleweight, meaning any performance at UFC 328 carries direct title implications
- His combination of elite striking accuracy and a punishing takedown rate makes him a stylistic problem for virtually anyone in the division
- A strong showing would reinforce his position as the clearest challenger in a stacked 185-pound weight class
