In a short video uploaded to his official YouTube channel, Chimaev was seen sparring at Tiger Muay Thai.

The Thailand-based gym has previously hosted UFC featherweight champion Alexander Volkanovski, UFC women's flyweight titleholder Valentina Shevchenko and UFC middleweight king Israel Adesanya, among others.

Sayat Abdrakhmanov, who currently manages interim UFC bantamweight champion Petr Yan, recently took to Twitter to confirm that Chimaev, Yan and Fiziev aren't the only ones training at Tiger Muay Thai.

In addition to them, the likes of Marlon Moraes, Yaroslav Amosov, Damir Ismagulov, Chingiz Allazov, Roman Kryklia and other well-renowned names are currently working under the same roof.
