Khamzat Chimaev came under fire for his involvement in the launch of a cryptocurrency named “SMASH” on social media, which experienced a significant decrease in value. The launch raised suspicions of fraudulent activity due to allegations of insider interference leading to the sharp decline in the token’s worth. Chimaev has responded by distancing himself from the crypto scandal and removing related content.
Amidst this controversy, Chimaev’s UFC career has faced obstacles with several fight cancellations and a decrease in activity in recent times. Despite an impressive start in the UFC, his progress has slowed down, prompting concerns about his future in the sport.
