News Chimaev has Lung Problems from Covid

[Mesos]

“Chimaev(9-0 MMA, 3-0 UFC) tested positive for COVID-19 in early December. Follow-up X-rays showed that his lungs haven’t fully recovered from the effects of the virus, leaving doctors to deem Chimaev unfit to prepare for the Edwards fight.”

Welp all the speculation is done now. Guy must have some serious breathing problems if Doctors think he is unfit to compete. Now it makes sense why Leon said get better

Real take: Best wishes to anyone with this disease. Thanks to MMA fighters for risking their health as always for our entertainment, and even more so while we try to figure out a reasonable prevention method. I'm staying inside chillin and smoking weed as much as I can this winter.

Is Khamzat a Covid long hauler like Cody Garbrandt?

 

[Get To Da Choppa]

So it's actually not because he threatened Conor and Conor got scared?

Is Khamzat a Covid long hauler like Cody Garbrandt?

Guess the virus got Khamzat bad too, Cody also had bloot clot issues which can be very dangerous. Crazy how Virus gets some people really bad and others completely fine after few days

 

[Ruv]

Oh no I hope Khazmat takes the time off to recover properly.

I have had some serious lung issues in the past so I know it takes time to recover and I am taking more precautions with covid going around.

Hope the UFC affords him as much time as necessary. There's lots of other guys who can fill prominent spots on the fight cards.

Sherdog told me it was just a flu that affects old and sick people though.

 

[Sweater of AV]

Unfortunate to hear he's still dealing with issues. Hope he gets well soon.

 

[Guy LeDouche]

I can’t give any fighters crap about covid related issues.
I had it earliar this year and thought I was going to kick the bucket. I truly don’t wish that upon anyone.
As a few others like Garbrandt has said, My lungs are still messed up from it 6 months later and I still feel like I can’t get my full lung capacity back especially when running or training.
So if he does have it, I wish him a speedy recovery and hope it’s not too bad, he’s able to train well again and is able to come back at full potential.

Ali has a big stable of fighters hes fine and there always new ones coming from Khabibs area. No idea how he does it but the guy must be a hell of a manager so many of his fighters love him

 

[usernamee]

Edit2: NEW article.

"At the end of November, Kimura was the first in the world to report that Khamzat had been affected by Covid-19. At the time, the Swede's team denied that the information was correct"

 

[DivineMind]

Wow .. before I thought Conor had the fight cancelled by demanding Dana axe the fight, but now doctors are saying Khamzat isnt fit to fight.. does that mean Conor paid off the doctors to do this after Dana denied him?

If so, Conor has become more powerful than I ever imagined possible.

 

[Kos Fan]

I’m sure some idiots will still say he’s ducking. I hope Chimaev gets well soon so he can get the hype train rolling again.

 

[BEATDOWNS]

Sherdog and Professor Brendan Schaub told me it was just a flu that affects old and sick people though.
