Khamzat Chimaev is gearing up for what is the biggest fight of his career so far. At UFC 319, the undefeated Chechen star is set to clash with Dricus Du Plessis for middleweight gold. The fight could define his legacy inside the cage. But outside of it? Fans are still piecing together the story of his private life.
The man known as ‘Borz’ may throw caution to the wind and smash opponents under the lights, but when it comes to family, he keeps his guard up. So, is he married? How many kids does he have? Let’s take a look at all we know about his life away from the confines of the Octagon!
Who is Khamzat Chimaev’s wife? Do they have kids?
Well, looking at the background and culture Chimaev belongs to, it’s quite understandable that he doesn’t like giving out much about his personal life. Like UFC stars from Dagestan, such as Khabib Nurmagomedov and Islam Makhachev, Chimaev also refrains from discussing his family or personal relationships in public interviews.
However, the available reports do give us some information about his current relationship status. Chimaev is currently a married man. Some fans suggested otherwise after watching the Instagram video of Chimaev’s wedding ceremony. But, it also showcased the Chechnyan UFC star in the end, clarifying the confusion a bit.

But while the details about his wife stay hidden, the scale of the celebration is a story in itself!
