Robert Whittaker Reveals Secret to Beating Khamzat Chimaev

Robert Whittaker believes Khamzat Chimaev can be beaten with high-level Jiu-Jitsu.

Robert Whittaker took on Khamzat Chimaev last year, suffering a devastating opening round face crank loss.

Whittaker dealt with a horrifying injury, with multiple teeth in his lower jaw breaking following Chimaev's relentless squeeze.

Whittaker has laid out the only scenario in which the Chechnya star could possibly lose, stating **“I don’t know how anyone beats Khamzat (Chimaev) at the moment”**.

His wrestling is so high-level, according to Whittaker, who thinks **high-level back Jiu-Jitsu** could be the key to beating Chimaev.

Nassourdine Imavov has staked his claim for a shot at Chimaev and his newly minted belt, after winning against Caio Borralho.

Joe Rogan has suggested Sean Strickland as a potential first title challenger for Khamzat Chimaev, citing him as the **biggest star**.

Chimaev turned in a dominant unanimous decision win over Dricus du Plessis in the main event of UFC 318, landing his fifteenth straight win in combat sports, on a date that marked a significant milestone in his career
