Chimaev’s mood can apparently shift within hours.

Tsarukyan is currently helping Chimaev for his upcoming fight.
Tsarukyan recently revealed that Chimaev has polarizing mood
swings. While Chimaev can be the funniest guy in a moment, he can
turn into the scariest being within an hour. Tsarukayn claims it’s
impossible to strike up a conversation with Chimaev sometimes, as
“Borz” would only reply in monosyllables. However, on other days,
Chimaev can keep talking for hours on end.
A Study in Contrasts
“You can see him once being the funniest guy ever,” Tsarukyan told
Patrick Bet-David. “But you can see him in one hour; he can be the
scariest guy ever. He can change his moods so fast… Maybe because
we’re fighters. Some days, you cannot even talk to him. ‘How are
you?’ ‘Good.’ That’s it, he doesn’t talk. Some days, he never
stops; he can talk for three to four hours.”
Chimaev (15-0) is considered one of the scariest active fighters in
the
UFC. While Chimaev is not a man of many words, he can be seen
pulling Tsarukyan’s leg now and then. Tsarukyan is one of the few
UFC fighters who share a close bond with Chimaev. Chimaev is
scheduled to defend his middleweight title against Sean
Strickland (30-7) at UFC 328
on May 9 at the Prudential Center in Newark, New Jersey.
