Khamzat Chimaev leaves UFC legend stunned after showing off insane strength

The undefeated star is set to compete in his first UFC title fight on Saturday - and preparations are clearly going well after fans were left stunned by his power Khamzat Chimaev has wowed fans after he was filmed completely manhandling former heavyweight champion Daniel Cormier. ‌ 'Borz' is set to compete for his first crack at a UFC title this weekend against reigning middleweight king Dricus Du Plessis. Chimaev comes into the showdown off the back of a stunning first round submission win over former champion Robert Whittaker last October. ‌ The undefeated sensation has been untouchable since making his professional debut back in 2018. The 31-year-old is known for his ruthless and relentless wrestling, capable of taking anyone down on his day. After moving up from welterweight, many fans have wondered just how powerful Chimaev is. ‌ Ahead of his clash with Du Plessis, 'Borz' left fans shocked after he was filmed picking up and manhandling Cormier - a former heavyweight champion - with ease. 'DC' retired back in 2020 following back-to-back defeats to Stipe Miocic. Despite switching the gloves for the microphone, the ex-fighter-turned-pundit is still a force to be reckoned with, and it takes some doing to easily drag the 46-year-old around freely. In a video uploaded to social media, Chimaev and Cormier shared a brief interaction outside the fighter hotel before engaging in a bit of playful wrestling. "You a big guy now, huh?" Joked Cormier. The American seemed to regret his choice of words after Chimaev quickly rushed towards the UFC legend and started to rag-doll 'DC' and swing him around up in the air as if he was a lightweight. Thankfully, the pair were all smiles at the end and shared a warm embrace. "Holy s***. Holy s***. This f****** guy, man. Holy s***. What the f*** was that?" Said Cormier. The 46-year-old has fought many iconic names during the peak of his powers, including Miocic, Jon Jones, Anderson Silva, Alexander Gustafsson, Anthony Johnson and Dan Henderson, but he insists no one has ever manhandled him like that. "First time in my life somebody has picked me up like that! What was that?" Cormier said before re-entering the hotel. Fans were quick to rush to the comments section and offer their verdict on the footage. "Khamzat is going to ragdoll DDP," wrote one user. "Had his legs doing the little kid kicks," replied another. "This broo picked up DC like nothing. CRAZY!" Another fans commented, while another replied: "Dude might ragdoll DDP like he did (Kevin) Holland." ‌ Another fan replied: "Damn, DDP is screwed, lol." Another user gave a confident prediction, stating: "Khamzat will destroy ddp." Another joked: "Bro is tossing him around like a teddy bear," while a separate comment reads: "I wouldn't be surprised if Khamzat dismantles DDP with one takedown after another. He's a complete package power, technique, and fight IQ all rolled into one. Once he gets his grip, it's like being trapped in quicksand. every move you make just drags you closer to the end." Ahead of this weekend's showdown, there were rumours that Chimaev might hang up the gloves for good should he emerge victorious, but it appears he has shut down retirement rumours. In an interview with ESPN, he said: 'Yeah, I've seen Caio said... I don't know where he hears those things. ‌ 'I need money bro. This is not enough, just to go for the one title. Hopefully if I don't get injured or some stuff, gonna defend the belt or fight for other belt in Abu Dhabi, as well." The 31-year-old has vowed to compete beyond UFC 319 as he targets success in multiple weight classes. 'I work with a new coach and talk to him about going down again to 170lb. He said gimme a couple months and I'm gonna make it. I don't know who is the champ there, this Australian guy would be a good fight for me," he continued. 'Go down, fight with him as well, take the belt there. If I go up, there is Ankalaev and Alex Pereira, they're fighting now. Whoever's winning, I can fight for that belt, as well.' When is Khamzat Chimaev vs Dricus Du Plessis? UFC 319 - headlined by a middleweight title fight between Chimaev and Du Plessis - will take place on Saturday, August 16 and is being held at the United Center in Chicago. The early prelims are scheduled to get underway at around 11pm Saturday night UK time, while the prelims will start at around 1am Sunday morning UK time. The main card is due to get underway at 3am Sunday morning UK time. In the main event, Chimaev will make the walk to the cage first at around 5:30am Sunday morning UK time, with Du Plessis set to follow immediately after. The action will be shown on TNT Sports and discovery+ in the UK, with the early preliminary rounds available on the UFC Fight Pass.

Scotland's deficit grew by £5.1bn, Government estimate shows

The latest Government Expenditure and Revenue Scotland (Gers) figures reported 'overall public finances in Scotland weakening, as expenditure grew faster than revenue'. For 2024-25, Scotland has a net fiscal deficit of minus £26.2 billion – an increase of £5.1 billion from the previous year – with this the representing minus 11.6% of the country's GDP. The UK deficit for 2024-25 was minus 5.1% of GDP, less than half the rate of Scotland. Minus £26,188,000 Scotland's net fiscal balance in 2024-25 Government Expenditure and Revenue Scotland The Scottish Government report said the 'deterioration' between this year and last was in part linked to a fall in North Sea revenue, but it added: 'The difference is primarily explained by movements in non-North Sea revenue and spending, with Scottish revenue growing more slowly and Scottish expenditure growing more quickly than the UK.' Revenue in Scotland grew by 1.5% in 2024-25 to £91.4 billion. Spending increased to £117.6 billion in 2024-25, up from £111.4 billion in 2023-24. 'As a share of GDP, public spending remained at historically high levels in 2024,' the report noted. Scottish Secretary Ian Murray said the figures show Scots benefit from higher public spending than the UK average – with this £2,669 more per person north of the border. He said this 'means more money for schools, hospitals and policing, if the Scottish Parliament chooses to invest in those areas' – although he also claimed 'people in Scotland will rightly expect to see better outcomes' for these higher spending levels. Mr Murray said: 'These figures underline the collective economic strength of the United Kingdom and how Scotland benefits from the redistribution of wealth inside the UK. Scottish Secretary Ian Murray said voters north of the border will expect 'better outcomes' from higher levels per person of public spending (Ben Whitley/PA) 'By sharing resources with each other across the UK, Scots benefit by £2,669 more per head in public spending than the UK average. 'It also means that devolved governments have the financial heft of the wider UK behind them when taking decisions.' Scottish Finance Secretary Shona Robison said decisions taken by ministers at Holyrood 'are helping support sustainable public finances'. She said: 'For the fourth year in a row, devolved revenues have grown faster than devolved expenditure. 'Scotland's public finances are better than many other parts of the UK, with the third highest revenue per person in the UK, behind only London and the South East.' She also stressed the Gers statistics reflect the current constitutional arrangements, with Scotland part of the UK and 'not an independent Scotland with its own policy, decisions on defence spending and the economy'. Independence is the direction we want to take because we believe it will unleash the potential, from day one, to be able to emulate some of the economic performance of many of our neighbours Shona Robison, Scottish Finance Secretary Arguing the figures highlight the 'limit' of devolved powers, Ms Robison said while the Scottish Government is responsible for more than 60% of public expenditure north of the border, it only controls 'around 30% of revenue'. The Finance Secretary told journalists: 'As an independent Scotland we would have the powers to make different choices, different budgetary results, to build a stronger economy and enable Scotland to be a fairer, wealthier and greener country.' She pointed to Ireland, saying GDP there had grown 12.5% over the last year, with a budget surplus of 24 billion euros (£20.7 billion) in 2024. Ms Robison hailed that as an example of 'what a small independent country, one of our nearest neighbours, is able to do with the full powers of independence'. She said: 'What we want, through the powers of independence, is to be able to make our own decisions. 'If you look at Ireland and what they have been able to do with the powers they have, it's like night and day compared to the economic conditions of the UK economy or the Scottish economy. 'Independence is the direction we want to take because we believe it will unleash the potential, from day one, to be able to emulate some of the economic performance of many of our neighbours, whether it is Ireland, or some of our Scandinavian neighbours.'

Last man to fire Scottish club to European Cup semi-final is turning 67 and gets up at 5am for work

Davie Dodds, the ex Dundee Utd, Rangers and Aberdeen player. | John Devlin Return of Rapid Vienna to Tannadice stirs up memories of 1984 Sign up to our Football newsletter Sign up Thank you for signing up!

Learn More Sorry, there seem to be some issues. Please try again later. Submitting... On assignment a few weeks ago to interview Steven Pressley, somebody caught my eye as they walked purposefully across the zebra crossing in front of my car near the hotel where I was due to meet the new Dundee manager. It took a few seconds to reconcile the man in work overalls with the younger version of himself. There goes the last man to score a goal to send a Scottish club into the regulation semi-final stage of the European Cup, I thought to myself. Or maybe I didn't. 'Bloody hell, it's Davie Dodds!' is probably nearer the truth. Advertisement Hide Ad Advertisement Hide Ad There's never not a good time to catch up for a pint with the man in question. It's a rare privilege since he rarely agrees to interviews these days. As he exclaims himself when I phoned to ask if he had time to discuss the part he played for Dundee United in a European Cup quarter-final tie: 'It was bloody 41 years ago!' Davie Dodds, the ex Dundee United, Rangers and Aberdeen player. | John Devlin Still, the return of Rapid Vienna to Tannadice for a Conference League qualifying tie poised at 2-2 following the first leg in Austria last week seems too good an opportunity not to at least try to request some time with the former striker, who turns 67 next month. Especially since, as I explain to him, he's been in my mind since spotting him on route to meeting Pressley, his former teammate. Rapid were the opposition for the aforementioned goal and yes, it was over 41 years ago. It was expertly struck on the turn from his favoured distance of about ten yards out. Actually, this counts as long range for Dodds. As Eamonn Bannon remarked with a smile when I told him I was hoping to speak to his old pal. 'Never took penalties, of course. Too far out!' It makes Dodds' goal return of 150 in 321 outings for United even more impressive. It wasn't bad at Aberdeen, either – 26 goals in 94 appearances following a short spell in Switzerland. And at Rangers, too, where the Dundonian struck four goals in just seven league starts for the team he supported as a boy (his father supported them). It's where he played with Pressley, which might surprise some since it feels like they belong to different orbits. Indeed, they sat alongside each other on the bench for a Champions League tie against Marseille, which seems slightly mind-blowing. Advertisement Hide Ad Advertisement Hide Ad Dodds enjoyed quite a career. And quite a selection of clubs – Neuchetal Xamax were his side in Switzerland, where teammates included German legend Uli Stielike. Like seemingly every Dundee United player of his era, there were also 'clubs that got away'. European Cup holders Liverpool wanted to sign him in 1978. Jim McLean said no, not even informing the player. Celtic wanted to sign him in late 1984 for a record fee between Scottish clubs. Again, McLean said no. Dundee United's Davie Dodds (right) during a 3-1 win over Rangers at Tannadice in 1982. | SNS Group 0141 221 3602 I supported Rangers but said yes to Celtic 'A reporter from the Daily Record phoned me and said, 'Celtic are putting in a bid of £300,000 for you - I know you are a Rangers supporter, would you sign for Celtic?'' recalls Dodds. 'Davie Hay was the manager. I said, 'Yeah, no problem, tell them to put the bid in'. Wee Jim knocked it back. So that was Liverpool and Celtic….' It seems notable that Dodds is still working. That's what had struck me when I saw him walking in the centre of Dundee. The football agenda just now is dominated by clubs simply trying to qualify for the group stage of the Champions League. Well, Dodds scored the goal to get United into the last four of what was then known as the European Cup and scored against AS Roma in the semi-final. Is Hans Krankl, the great Austrian striker who played for Rapid, getting up at the crack of dawn to begin a day's work? Is Antonin Panenka, the legendary penalty innovator who also graced the Tannadice turf on the evening in question, cleaning toilets, which is part of Dodds' remit these days? Of course not, although they are both a good bit older. Dodds plans to retire when he hits 70 but won't ever complain about the graft. Advertisement Hide Ad Advertisement Hide Ad 'I just enjoy life, my own life,' he says, citing holidays in the family caravan at Seton Sands and in Tenerife at Cheltenham-time as well as golf at weekends his Dundee United commitments – he is a club ambassador - permitting. We are speaking in a pub between Broughty Ferry and central Dundee. It's not quite in the shadow of Tannadice, scene of so many great European nights where Dodds played a central role, but it's near enough. To his fellow regulars, he's just Doddsie. Life after football He details his post-football life. He ran a pub initially, called Rendezvous. 'I had it for five years. Profits were staying the same, overheads were going up. I said, 'I am going to sell it and do something else'. A girl that used to work with me in the pub had her own cleaning business. I don't know why, but I said: 'I fancy doing the cleaning business.' I called it Rendezvous, because that was the name of my pub. That was 20 years ago. It took a while to build up, but now it's fine.' Former Dundee United forward Davie Dodds enjoys a post-work pint in Dundee. | National World - Alan Pattullo He employs two others part-time but is prepared to get his hands dirty, which means getting up at around 5am. 'Toilets and canteens have to be cleaned before the workers start, at half seven,' he says. 'It's technical nowadays – it's not just a feather duster, it's solvents and that now to get plastic off and stuff.' He operates at two new build sites in Dundee and is finished by early afternoon. 'I like getting up in the morning,' he says. 'I don't like staying in the house, I have always been up and out. A couple of pints in the afternoon and then home for my tea.' It doesn't sound completely different to his life as a footballer, though mercifully he is his own boss now. He isn't forced to kowtow to that most fearsome foreman, Jim McLean. They never saw eye to eye. McLean had a particular problem with strikers, it seems, and when United faced Rapid in the second leg, Dodds hadn't scored for – shock, horror – three matches. Advertisement Hide Ad Advertisement Hide Ad Inevitably, McLean wasn't happy. 'The performance of our front players is causing concern,' he writes in his always insightful programme notes for the match. 'The very hard tackling from behind is still being endured by our strikers, but their link-up and goal threat must be improved. I will be looking for decidedly better form from Davie Dodds and Paul Sturrock in both departments.' 'I did everything I wanted to' What's notable on re-watching highlights of the second leg v Rapid is Dodds responding in the way the genius McLean no doubt suspected he would, by ramming the words back down his throat. Something else is also worth highlighting. Ironically given McLean's point about tackling from behind, Dodds commits a typical striker's challenge when barging into the back of an opposition forward in what looks like a very good shout for a penalty. It's not given and United cling onto the lead secured by Dodds' 23rd minute strike. Derek Stark's away goal two weeks earlier proved crucial since the teams were tied 2-2 on aggregate. Davie Dodds in action for Dundee United during the League Cup final win over Dundee at Dens Park on December 6, 1980. | SNS Group 0141 221 3602 Dodds can't remember the penalty escape. 'I am surprised Wee Jim didn't haul me off!' he says. But he does of course remember the goal, despite what he earlier claimed. He counts it among the three most important he scored for the club, along with the opener in the following month's 2-0 home leg semi-final victory against AS Roma and another opener, this time v local rivals Dundee in 1980's League Cup final win. 'I was lucky enough to play for my hometown heroes (United), the team I loved Glasgow Rangers (where he was also first-team coach), and played at every level for Scotland – under-15s, under-18s, under-21s and I scored for the senior team (on his debut, v Uruguay),' he says. 'I did everything I wanted to in my career. I won the league with United. I was at Rangers eight years, won leagues there.' He was particularly touched by the reception he received from Aberdeen supporters when he was introduced at Tannadice at the last game of last season. Advertisement Hide Ad Advertisement Hide Ad
