Khamzat Chimaev recently posted a video of himself training with his Sweden-based Allstars Training Center teammates. The team participated in a boot camp style session in freezing conditions led by former UFC fighter and Swedish national wrestling champ Reza Madadi.

'Borz' proved he will stop at nothing to fulfill his dream of becoming the UFC welterweight champion. The video, which was uploaded to his YouTube channel, was shot on Christmas day.

The Allstars Training Center products were seen participating in grueling training sessions in -10°C weather in a snow-laden forest. Pushing the entire team to their limit, Madadi described the nature of the workout in the video, and here's what the 43-year-old had to say:

"Brother, we have five rounds to do. five [chin ups], ten military press. You need to feel like you are in the middle of the fight. Five times frog jump front, and five times back. Ten push ups. Khamzat? Did you hear brother? Ten. From here, to the next tree they need to pummeling, pummeling, pushing you, pushing you. Then the round is over, you have done the first round. They need to do this five times. Then it's done, it's my turn. Reza boot camp."
