Khamzat Chimaev got his hand raised against a top-tier UFC fighter, but this time it wasn’t MMA bout.
Chimaev defeated Jack Hermansson in a freestyle wrestling match Friday evening. The two UFC fighters headlined Bulldog Fight Night 9 in Gothenburg, Sweden. The match was contested at 187 pounds with two three-minute rounds.
The card had a mixture of boxing and MMA fights, along with the main event freestyle wrestling match between Chimaev and Hermansson taking place inside of a cage.
Meanwhile, Hermansson last fought at UFC Fight Night 188 in May. He outpointed Edmen Shahbazyan in a unanimous decision. He’s 2-2 in his past four UFC bouts.
