Chimaev holds an undefeated professional record and his impressive performances in the UFC have earned him many admirers.

A video on social media from MMA Uncensored shared the moment of New York Giants QB Jaxson Dart being on hand to watch Chimaev train as the Middleweight titleholder prepares for his bout against Strickland.

Although Chimaev competes in a different sport, there sure would have been plenty of things which Dart could have learned and taken in even just from watching one of the UFC’s elite in training.

This would have been an opportunity for Dart to gain first hand insight into the habits and work ethic you must develop to become a champion.

For Chimaev, his goal is that his training camp will have him firing and ready to go when he defends his Middleweight belt against Strickland at UFC 328.
