You didn't. You're probably hyped for a new prospect as an MMA fan, which is understandable.
I'm just stating facts. Chimaev fought 3 guys with losing records who were purposely picked by the UFC for him to beat.

Maybe he just beat 3 guys, irrespective of their records? Highly unlikely they were cherry picked given nobody knew who the fuck he was a couple months ago.

It's very cherry picked if you look at the 3 opponents the UFC picked for him, and then compare them to the first 3 opponents the UFC picked for Khabib.
Here is a copy / pasted from an old thread that I made:
Khabib made his UFC debut against 3 BJJ blackbelts (1 was also an Olympic wrestling qualifier), 2 of them were on steroids when they fought Khabib.
Khabib's opponents:
(1st UFC fight)
(2nd fight)
(3rd fight)

Regardless of the standard of competition, he just made 3 Pro fighters look like guys off the street
It looked similar to how other ufc fighters would treat guys off the street with no training
Mike Tyson fought often early and some cans at the beginning. He was fighting every month too. Chimaev like Tyson, will step it up every fight and will be fighting contenders very soon
I expect him to fight and win titles by the end of next year. I normally don't jump on bandwagons, but this dude is legit

You have done your research.. well done.
Khabib was 16-0 though so maybe that was taken into account.
If any of khamzats opponents are cherry picked it was Meerschaert, a slow veteran who was has 14 or so pro losses. We can’t conclusively say the first two were though, nobody knew how good he is and also fight island where fights were getting booked everywhere.
A swedish Chechy will sell PPV? Yeah UFC had no idea who he was. They just booked him fights and he has dominated.

You might think that is the reason - the UFC being fair with the match making - but it is not, and here is why.
If you take a look at Kamal Shalorus (7-0 when he entered the UFC)
these were the fighters the UFC matched him up against in his first 3 fights:
1st UFC fight: Jim Miller
3rd and last UFC fight: Rafael Dos Anjos
15-6 MMA; 4-4 UFC
Shalorus was thrown to the sharks of the LW division.NCAA DIV I
BJJ blackbelt
20-2 in MMA; 9-1 UFC
2nd fight: KhabibBJJ blackbelt
20-2 in MMA; 9-1 UFC
3rd and last UFC fight: Rafael Dos Anjos
15-6 MMA; 4-4 UFC
Khamzat, on the other hand, is clearly being spoonfed with cans.

GSP fought Matt Hughes in his 8th pro fight. Not everyone is pushed at the same rate plus Khamzat is literally fighting at every opportunity he can get.You might think that is the reason - the UFC being fair with the match making - but it is not, and here is why.
