Video: Daniel Cormier, Khamzat Chimaev grapple outside hotel lobby
As it turns out, Khamzat Chimaev had to go waaaaaay out of his weight class to find a fight.
OK, not really. The rising star originally from Chechnya is still having trouble getting someone to sign on the dotted line after he blitzed out to a 3-0 UFC record faster than any fighter in the modern era.
But we did get to see him engage in a bit of friendly combat former UFC heavyweight and light heavyweight champion Daniel Cormier on Friday night.
Both are on “Fight Island” in Abu Dhabi during the UFC’s current run of big events, and they ran into one another outside the lobby of a hotel.

Anthony Smith on Alex Pereira: ‘Given the opportunity, we both would jump on it’
Anthony Smith knows he’s not currently in the title picture, but hopes he gets an opportunity to face Alex Pereira some day. The pair traded barbs in the past, but Smith insists it’s nothing personal. UFC light heavyweight champion Pereira (10-2 MMA, 7-1 UFC) currently awaits his next challenger...
