Chimaev (15-0) puts his middleweight title on the line against Sean Strickland (30-7) in the main event at UFC 328 on May 9 at the Prudential Center in Newark, New Jersey. Tsarukyan, a close friend of Chimaev, was recently invited to his camp. Tsarukyan couldn’t resist a laugh when he found Chimaev and his entire team playing Player Unknown’s Battlegrounds, an online battle royal shooting game.

Tsarukyan recorded Chimaev playing PUBG and said on his Instagram Stories: “Khamzat says: Come to camp, it will be fun, very fun, very fun. Absolutely amazing.”
Chimaev defended himself in response: “How else can we spend time in the evening?”
Apart from PUBG, Chimaev has also talked about playing Dota 2 and Counter-Strike since his teens. “Borz” has finished six of his nine UFC opponents so far. While Chimaev’s becoming a UFC champion seemed like a mere inevitability since the beginning, the undefeated Chechen-born took more time than expected due to his early career being plagued by injuries. Chimaev finally won the middleweight title via a dominant decision over Dricus Du Plessis at UFC 319 last August. Meanwhile, Strickland is coming of an upset stoppage win over Anthony Hernandez, that saw the former champ rebound from a failed attempt to reclaim his title from Du Plessis.
