The Swede is now a part of Dominance MMA management. The same organization which represents top fighters like Khabib Nurmagomedov, Kamaru Usman, Justin Gaethje, etc.

Dominance MMA CEO Ali Abdelaziz tells me he has just signed top welterweight prospect Khamzat Chimaev to a management contract. Chimaev, a welterweight, trains in Sweden with Alexander Gustafsson. Abdelaziz says he’s like “Khabib 2.0” and believes he’s a future UFC champion.

With age on his side, and a continuous spot in the events, makes him a fighter to look out for. And If his career trajectory continues to move up, he may very well become the next big prospect.
