Despite all the madness of fight week, Khamzat Chimaev barely broke a sweat as he dominates Kevin Holland in the UFC 279 co-main event
Khamzat Chimaev may not have been the most popular figure in the T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas at UFC 279, but it managed to be an easy night at the office for him.
Despite the shake-up 24 hours earlier thanks to his significant weight miss, Chimaev scored a quick victory over Kevin Holland in the co-main event.

The fight got off to a hot start with Chimaev quickly locking up Holland, taking him down and scrambling with him before ending in top guard. Some more scrambling saw Chimaev go for a couple of submissions — namely a D’Arce choke.
Chimaev got it locked in and appeared to injure Holland’s shoulder, with Holland tapping out in just over two minutes.
