Photos Of Khamzat Chimaev - Without His Beard, Childhood, Early Career

It's hard to imagine Khamzat Chimaev without his beard. The 27-year-old UFC fighter has become known for his impressive facial hair, which he often uses to his advantage during fights.

But Chimaev is actually quite young and relatively new to the world of competitive fighting. In fact, there are very few photos of him without his beard.

Chimaev first made waves in the MMA world when he burst onto the scene with a series of impressive wins in 2017. Since then, he's gone on to establish himself as one of the top welterweight fighters in the world.

While Chimaev is now known for his fierce fighting style and intimidating beard, he was actually quite shy and clean-shaven when he was younger. In fact, it wasn't until he started growing his beard that people began to take notice of him.

Now, Chimaev is one of the most popular fighters in the UFC. And while he may not have the same level of name recognition as some of the other top fighters in the world, he's quickly making a name for himself as one of the most exciting and feared fighters in the sport.

The young UFC star is usually seen with a beard, which has now become his trademark look. However, in these rare photos, Chimaev is clean-shaven and looks completely different.
