UFC fans are convinced star Khamzat Chimaev has been 'cloned' after the emergence of unbeaten prospect Khamzat Maaev.
Maaev kept his unbeaten record intact on Monday when he knocked out Elias Farah in his debut for Bahrain promotion Brave CF, the same promotion Chimaev reigned supreme in before signing for the UFC in 2020. Maaev bares a striking resemblance to Chimaev, with the pair both having the same physique, beard and shaved head.
As if the pair couldn't look more alike, Maaev has also adopted the same nickname as Chimaev in 'Borz' which translates to 'wolf' in Chechen, the region of Russia that both Maaev and Chimaev are from. Fans have been left dumbfounded after Maaev went viral on social media for being the doppelgänger of Chimaev.
