Khamzat Chimaev’s wife biography
Despite Khamzat Chimaev’s fame and worldwide recognition, he prefers to keep his personal life private and away from the eyes of the world. Unlike other fighters who often showcase their personal life and loved ones on social media, Khamzat prefers to keep family matters private. The couple reportedly got married several years back in May 2022, but aside from that, he has not disclosed any details about his wife.
Moreover, there is no public information or images that identify his spouse. Chimaev himself limits his own online presence and shows mostly only his training videos and fight promotions. While many fans have chosen to respect this discretion, it has sparked further curiosity amongst other fans.
Khamzat Chimaev also has a son with him suffering from medical issues which involve his kidney. “He has one kidney, some problem…,” Khamzat had earlier said while talking about his son’s illness.
Khamzat welcomed his son two years after marrying on May 21, 2022.

Khamzat Chimaev is an MMA fighter who was born in Chechnya and later settled in Sweden. Over the years, Khamzat has developed a formidable wrestling pedigree, winning gold medals at the Swedish Freestyle National Championships multiple times between 2016 and 2018. Ever since entering the MMA, he has remained undefeated with a professional record boasting all kinds of wins, including submission, knockout, and decision.
Chimaev has an impressive fight record of 14 wins and no losses and ranks among the UFC’s top welterweights. Interestingly, there have been occasional rumors of him being related to fellow fighter Khabib Nurmagomedov, and the duo even had a feud between them in the past.

Khamzat started in MMA as Gerikhanov, his mom's last name. He changed it to his father's name Chimaev already in Sweden.
