Khamzat Chimaev is undefeated in mixed martial arts (MMA).
That said, the No. 3-ranked UFC middleweight title contender took an “L” in the world of cryptocurrency after the crash of his SMASH coin back in summer 2024, which led to “pump-and-dump” accusations from investors who got hosed.
Don’t expect any sympathy from UFC color commentator, Joe Rogan.
Rogan said on his latest podcast. “They were claiming that he did a pump-and-dump, ripped off his fans. I’m like, yeah, you can’t rip off your fans, obviously, but I don’t know if the people buying those coins are even fans. I think they’re gamblers … trying to figure out when to buy and sell. It’s like a casino at that point.”
And casinos encourage “degenerate” gamblers (like this guy).
“Are we mad at the casino when someone blows all their money playing roulette? No, because that’s what they signed up for,” Rogan continued. “People win money in roulette, or they don’t. But if you lose, we’re not mad at the casino. So why are we mad when someone loses money in meme coins? What the f*ck did you think was going to happen?”
Inspiring words from a “gross” multimillionaire.
claims “Borz” was “misled” by a mysterious crypto group. As far as his MMA career, Chiamev is expected to fight Dricus Du Plessis for the UFC middleweight strap at some point later this year.
Hopefully “Borz” performs better than his crypto coin.
