KHAMZAT CHIMAEV was cruelly tricked into saying he’d romp with seven of his middleweight rivals by an outrageous interviewer.
The undefeated Russian makes his eagerly-anticipated octagon return on Saturday night in the co-main event of UFC 294, where he’ll face former welterweight champion Kamaru Usman.

Chimaev will be making his 185lbs debut against The Nigerian Nightmare and was quizzed about the rest of his divisional rivals by social media star Nina Drama.
And she tricked Chimaev into playing a game of “smash or pass” – a crude way of saying whether or not you’d have intercourse with someone.
Chimaev, whose “smesh” catchphrase caught fire after his rapid rise to prominence on Fight Island, took part in the game thinking smash meant beating up his rivals inside the cage.
Nina could barely stop herself from laughing after ‘Borz’ said he’d smash newly-crowned middleweight champion Sean Strickland.
He nonchalantly gave the same answer when asked about Paulo Costa, Israel Adesanya, Bo Nickal, Roman Dolidze, Marvin Vettori and Dricus du Plessis.
MMA fans couldn’t believe their eyes after seeing Chimaev get trolled by the content creator, with one writing on X: “Bruhhhhh I’m crying.”
Another said: “They did him so dirty! Naww man I’m dying lol.”
And another said: “They did my guy dirty.”

One asked: “Does he know?
Another chimed in: “She playin’ a dannnnngerous game lmao.”
Chimaev was completely oblivious to the prank, so much so he began calculating how much money he’d earn fighting his rivals.
The Chechen clubber, who inked a new multi-fight deal with the UFC this week, said: “So much money.
“Imagine if I fight all of these guys, crazy. Seven fights, it’s almost $20million.”
Fan favourite Chimaev is relishing his clash with former pound-for-pound king Usman and reckons he’ll make light work of him.
He said: “Since day one I got to the UFC, everyone spoke about Khamzat-Usman, Khamzat-Usman.
“Our wrestling skills, our striking, all of these things.
“Usman is a fighter like me, but he’s the old version, I’m new, different.
“Like iPhones come out, like iPhone 5, I’m like, Pro, it’s different.”
