Khamzat Chimaev just grabbed hold of a rival player during a soccer game and launched him toward the floor.

‘Borz’ certainly wasn’t taking any prisoners with the way he handled his opponent.

Having established his status as one of the scariest men on the planet, very few would want to go up against the Swedish-Russian. After all, Chimaev is a man who just broke Robert Whittaker’s jaw.

Therefore, it can’t have been a nice experience for the man who suddenly found himself being dragged to the ground by one of the biggest names in the UFC.

Fans left in hysterics over Khamzat Chimaev dropping a player during a soccer game

While Khamzat Chimaev is one of the best mixed martial artists on planet Earth, his athleticism doesn’t seem to extend as far as soccer.

In a video uploaded to his Instagram story, with the caption ‘I’m in football’, another player intercepts a pass coming in his direction and darts away with the ball.

Rather, than committing a legal tackle, the warrior chose to put his hands on his foe and physically dragged him to the floor.

Fans were quick to take to social media to joke about the situation.

One laughed: “Smesh everybody,” while another pointed out: “That’s a foul.” A third joked: “He wouldn’t try that with Bradley Martyn.”

Roman Dolidze explains why Khamzat Chimaev could be 'in trouble' against Dricus Du Plessis

While Chimaev handily dealt with a soccer player, in the eyes of Roman Dolidze, Dricus Du Plessis would be a completely different kettle of fish.

A match-up between the two middleweight stars is what dreams are made of.

In one corner stands an absolute wrecking machine, who’s obliterated almost everybody he’s set foot in the cage with, and in the other, a maverick who always finds a way to win.

While many would make the challenger the favorite, Dolidze explained why Du Plessis is capable of giving Chimaev a very tough test.
