Nutritionist Matteo Capodaglio gives insight into Khamzat Chimaev’s UFC 308 preparation

Khamzat Chimaev returned in emphatic fashion at UFC 308.

Chimaev (14-0 MMA, 8-0 UFC) ran through former middleweight champion Robert Whittaker for a first-round submission in this past Saturday’s co-main event in Abu Dhabi. He acquired the help of Dr. Matteo Capodaglio, who works with the likes of No. 1 contender Arman Tsarukyan and former title challenger Marvin Vettori. Chimaev has experienced a slew of health issues in the past year, which saw the cancellation of his first scheduled bout against Whittaker at UFC on ABC 6 in June.

Capodaglio discussed how Chimaev avoided overtraining for this camp while also maintaining his usual intensity.
