But then there is Khamzat Chimaev.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Magny, who faces former Chimaev opponent Gilbert Burns this weekend in Rio de Janeiro, spent some time on the mats with Chimaev in New York recently and as he said to Ariel Helwani on The MMA Hour this week, \u2018Borz\u2019 is a problem for anyone at 170-pounds. Magny had been one of the most vocal welterweights in the past couple of years in calling for a fight with the unbeaten welterweight contender but after one session spent together, he says that he is now fully aware of the Chechen-born Swede\u2019s immense skillset.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe had the opportunity to train in New York and the guy is definitely the real deal,\u201d Magny <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.mmafighting.com\/2023\/1\/19\/23561512\/neil-magny-on-training-with-khamzat-chimaev-i-f-around-and-found-out\">said<\/a><\/strong>. \u201cThe best way I can explain it is like, I f***** around and found out. Khamzat is definitely the real deal.<\/p>\n<p id=\"qHymUL\">\u201cI went in there thinking, \u2018Oh, here\u2019s this sweet little wolf that I can train with in jiu-jitsu,\u2019 and then things got real, real fast. There\u2019s more hats to the guy, more so realizing, damn, this guy is actually the real deal. He\u2019s not a fighter or fight I can take lightly at all. If I\u2019m being honest, had I got that fight early on, I might have set myself up for failure, looking past him a little bit.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"YouTube video player\" width=\"900\" height=\"500\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/Hzb2QyEclpE\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\"><span data-mce-type=\"bookmark\" style=\"display: inline-block; width: 0px; overflow: hidden; line-height: 0;\" class=\"mce_SELRES_start\">\ufeff<\/span><\/iframe><\/p>\n<div id=\"add_within_content\">\n<p><span><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/themaclife.com\/wp-content\/themes\/salient-child\/img\/advertisement_text_img.jpg\" previous-src=\"https:\/\/themaclife.com\/wp-content\/themes\/salient-child\/img\/advertisement_text_img.jpg\"><\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>Chimaev has developed a reputation as being as intense in training as he is in a professional fight, with even Sean Strickland telling Chimaev\u2019s friend Darren Till that he needed to tone it down slightly when they shared a training room in Las Vegas last year.<\/p>\n<p>And as Magny detailed, they went at it hard.<\/p>\n<p id=\"fTncDu\">\u201cInitially there wasn\u2019t any tense moments at all, it was just an opportunity where it was like, \u2018I\u2019m here to train, you\u2019re here to train,\u2019 it was very respectful, going through the motions, not super competitive,\u201d Magny said. \u201cBut that escalated very quickly.

So yeah, it definitely escalated quickly there.<\/p>\n<p id=\"0Q9AlO\">\u201cThere\u2019s a video out there so I can\u2019t even deny it, he definitely got the best of me that training session,\u201d Magny added. \u201cLike I said, I f*cked around and found out, and I definitely found out the hard way. \u2018Oh yeah, sweet little wolf, here we go, we\u2019re just playing around,\u2019 and that wolf definitely bit, and I was like, \u2018Oh crap, I was not expecting that.\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n<div id=\"add_below_single_content\">\n<p><span><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/themaclife.com\/wp-content\/themes\/salient-child\/img\/advertisement_text_img.jpg\" previous-src=\"https:\/\/themaclife.com\/wp-content\/themes\/salient-child\/img\/advertisement_text_img.jpg\"><\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><fb:comments-count href=\"https:\/\/themaclife.com\/sports\/mma\/things-got-real-real-fast-neil-magny-details-training-with-khamzat-chimaev\/\"><\/fb:comments-count> comments<\/p>\n<div id=\"add_after_content\">\n<p><span><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/themaclife.com\/wp-content\/themes\/salient-child\/img\/advertisement_text_img.jpg\" previous-src=\"https:\/\/themaclife.com\/wp-content\/themes\/salient-child\/img\/advertisement_text_img.jpg\"><\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/themaclife.com\/sports\/mma\/things-got-real-real-fast-neil-magny-details-training-with-khamzat-chimaev\/\" class=\"button purchase\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Read More<\/a><br \/>\n John Balfe<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Throughout a fight career which has extended through 36 fights in 13 years, there isn\u2019t much that Neil Magny hasn\u2019t already seen in the cage or in the training room.
