Hamzat Chimaev received a congratulatory address from former UFC two-division champion Conor McGregor. The two had their rivalry, although they never faced each other.

At the time, the Irishman had escalated the situation with Chimaev after making a mocking comment about one of the scars on his face. Now, however, everything seems to be in the past, after McGregor wrote: "The first UFC champion from Chechnya! Congratulations."

The new middleweight champion remains undefeated in the fighting organization after his victory over the previous title holder - Drikus Du Plessis. The fight in Chicago lasted five rounds, and Chimaev was in control for an average of 4 minutes in each part. He landed over 500 punches on his opponent. |BGNES
