Khamzat Chimaev restrained by security as he tries to enter cage after team-mate's TKO

UFC star Khamzat Chimaev was held back by security at an MMA event in Sweden after watching one of his teammates lose.

Chimaev attended a local MMA show in Sweden to watch one of his teammates fight, but was visibly frustrated after watching him be knocked out.

It's unclear whether Chimaev was unhappy at the referee for the stoppage or the opposing fighter, who walked towards Chimaev's teammate and sat down next to him after the fight.

Chimaev can be seen in video footage of the incident slamming a table in frustration before leaping over a fence to try and enter the cage.

The Swede gets as far as the cage door before multiple security guards stop him in his tracks and escort him back to his seat.

Chimaev is one of the UFC's fastest rising stars and has made a surging journey in the welterweight division since debuting for the promotion last year.

The talented wrestler took up MMA in 2016 after watching Conor McGregor's fight with Jose Aldo and went 6-0 before signing to the UFC.

'Borz' has taken just one significant strike in his four UFC fights, either knocking out or submitting all of his opponents to date in one-sided affairs.

He set a promotional record in his debut year for the fastest consecutive wins and quickest three fight winning streak in modern UFC history.

The No.11 ranked welterweight submitted Li Jingliang at UFC 267 last October in his lone fight of 2021 and will now take on former title challenger Gilbert Burns.

It's a big step up in competition for the Swede, who could be next in line for welterweight champion Kamaru Usman with a win.

Chimaev - who trains at the Allstars Training Center in Sweden - has been backed by his training partner Alexander Gustafsson to dethrone Usman.

"I think he'd put Kamaru Usman to sleep honestly. I think if he just touches his chin, it's a big chance that Kamaru Usman goes to sleep," Gustafsson told ESPN.

"I like Kamaru Usman, he's a great champ and he's just been breaking records and like you know, it's a pleasure to see him fight because he's very good and technical.

"I love his jab and his wrestling and you can see that he's on top, Kamaru Usman. But I just can't see him take Khamzat's punches.

"I've been sparring with so many guys in so many levels, heavyweight, light heavyweight, middleweights and welterweights, this guy just puts people away in training sessions."
