Media Khamzat explains his illness

[Trabaho]

07:30 I don't know how to timestamp.
Doctors removed about half his Thyroid gland in his throat. Gets temperatures a lot. From training all the time and contact with fans, who approach him regardless if they are healthy or infected. Had 6 surgeries thus far. Got a fewer before the Usman fight and hoped to get a quick choke.

Any health experts here, how do you remove half the Thyroid gland. Sounds brutal. . Throat surgery.

War Khamzat

With half of a throat, it will be impossible to ever choke him out.

 

[Natural Order]

This guy without a beard might be the ugliest human on earth.

Which would explain why he's angry and can fight so well.

Not an expert but in my final year of medical school.

You can perform a hemithyroidectomy, which is essentially removing one lobe of the thyroid gland. However, this is usually done to test if a lump is cancerous or not? It can also be performed if you have an overactive thyroid gland to sort of even out the hormones being secreted.

I'd assume the latter is the reason Khamzat had it removed. An overactive thyroid can cause symptoms such as heart palpitations, fatigue, sleep problems and weight loss/digestive issues, so wouldn't bode well for weight cuts or training. However, a hemithyroidectomy is like a last resort, extreme treatment option, so must have been a pretty aggressive or unresponsive case.


Hope he's okay.

I also should add that I'm unsure how a hemithyroidectomy would have a direct effect on the immune system, but I suppose if his thyroid levels are now out of whack, or aren't producing enough, it could affect his metabolism which in turn could have an indirect effect on the immune system

Chimaev is a great fairy tale storyteller!

Why don t you believe him? Why can t he have problems with his throat? We know for sure of one throat operation a couple of years ago.

He kind of looks like that actor Judge Reinhold without the beard.

Wow he actually has a solid facial structure, I guess I have been propagandized by that photoshopped pic of him with the recessed chin.

Khamzat should trim that long sloppy beard, he would look much better with a trimmed beard and quiff hairstyle like this to be the most marketable champ in UFC history.

He's handsome. Especialy the last pic looks like a true man. Strong and with a good heart. The positivity shines.

My ex wife had to get her thyroid out due to a cyst the size of an egg. They left about 1/4 of her thyroid in but she had to go on thyroid medication for the rest of her life. Thyroid issues will fuck you up.

Is there much reason for him to lie? He's undefeated so he's not trying to make excuses for a loss. He's man-handled basically everyone he's faced so it's not like he can't perform when he shows up.
