Now, Chimaev has some soul-searching to do as he attempts to bounce back and prove that he’s still worthy of being a champion at the elite level. Of course, as is always the case after a big loss like this, his team have been questioned quite heavily.

In a recent video, the aforementioned Firas Zahabi of Tristar Gym had the following call to action for Chimaev.
