See it below (via <a href=\"https:\/\/youtu.be\/Y1X29JQgZ-0\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">MMA Nytt<\/a>):<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Khamzat Chimaev Buys Homeless Man Food from McDonald&#039;s\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/Y1X29JQgZ-0?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>While Chimaev currently has his hands full with his upcoming fight with Meerschaert, which will be contested in the middleweight division on the UFC Vegas 11 main card this Saturday, he&#8217;s already been linked to a fight with long-time UFC welterweight contender Demian Maia later this fall. It&#8217;s pretty <a href=\"http:\/\/staging.tcpcharms.com\/bjpenn\/mma-news\/ufc\/dana-white-explains-why-khamzat-chimaev-has-two-fights-booked-at-once-its-fun\/\">unprecedented<\/a> for a fighter to be scheduled for two fights at once, but that just goes to show how much faith the UFC has in Chimaev.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe thing is, the guy wants to keep fighting,&#8221; UFC President Dana White said after a recent episode of Contender Series, discussing his plans to double-book Chimaev. &#8220;He wants all these fights back-to-back. It\u2019s no disrespect to his opponent. He\u2019s either going to win or lose. That has nothing to do with us, that\u2019s up to them. But to do that, for him to fight two fights in a row, you have to book him. And for a guy like him \u2014 I would never do that for someone else. I would be like, \u2018Relax, let\u2019s see if you get through this fight.\u2019 But what I\u2019ve seen from him, I\u2019m willing to do that for him.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">Khamzat Chimaev was the breakout star of the UFC\u2019s four-even stint on \u201cFight Island\u201d in Abu Dhabi in July. The Chechen-Swede won two fights in a 10-day span, submitting John Phillips at middleweight and Rhys McKee by TKO at welterweight\u2014both in the first round.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">Chimaev is currently a perfect 8-0 as a professional mixed martial artist, and is viewed by many as a future champion at both welterweight and middleweight. In fact, UFC President Dana White recently suggested he might already be ready for a fight with UFC welterweight champion Kamaru Usman.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">&#8220;If you ask this kid, he\u2019s ready to fight Usman,&#8221; White said on Fight Island. &#8220;You know what I mean? Is he ready for Usman? The way he looks, who knows? Maybe.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>What do you think of this kind gesture from Khamzat Chimaev?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Red-hot UFC prospect Khamzat Chimaev showed his charitable side ahead of his fight with Gerald Meerschaert this Saturday in Las Vegas.
