EXPLAINED: Darren till hits back at khabib over ufc legend s theory about khamzat chimaev | Rare Historical Photos

Khamzat Chimaev Darren Till Khabib Nurmagomedov UFC Nate Diaz Muslim

Darren Till has questioned Khabib Nurmagomedov's theory that a lack of Muslim influence caused Khamzat Chimaev to be overweight last weekend.

The former UFC lightweight champion said he was concerned Chimaev had little-to-no Muslims in his team amid a chaotic UFC 279 fight week. Having initially signed to face Nate Diaz in the main event at welterweight, the Swede missed weight just hours after getting involved in a press conference-cancelling brawl.

Nurmagomedov, a fellow Muslim, was a keen observer as Chimaev, who early in his career was branded as 'the next Khabib', continued his winning streak in an hastily-arranged match-up with Kevin Holland at a catchweight. He watched on from the UK, where he was participating in a speaking tour, as Chimaev missed weight by 7.5lb and ended up in a brand new fight.
