Khamzat Chimaev has been accused of "hiding" after he was involved in an altercation with UFC middleweight Paulo Costa last week.
The pair rowed at the UFC's Performance Institute in Las Vegas, where Costa is training and Chimaev was finishing camp ahead of his fight with Nate Diaz this weekend. He and Diaz will square off at the T-Mobile arena in Las Vegas as the main event of UFC 279; his first headliner under the banner.
But first he had to deal with Costa after taking issue with something the Brazilian said at a recent press conference, with footage emerging of the fracas online. Costa, an infamous trash talker in his own right, was asked about the incident by TheMacLife and accused Chimaev of being at the gym to "talk s***" before going into hiding.
