John Phillips Relives career at BKFC Ko
Chimaev debuted famous in the UFC with a dominant victory over Phillips in July 2020.
A judge gave him a rare 10-7 round before he locked up a d'Arce choke in the second round.
Almost five years later, Chimaev is about to fight against middleweight champion Drus du Plessis.
In the meantime, Phillips has kicked off his new bare boxing career with an epic knockout victory.
The 39-year-old Kwadraat on Saturday evening against colleague UFC veteran Fábio Maldonado on BKFC.
Phillips dropped the 30-11 Pro boxer before he closed the show when he returned.
A clean left hand to the jaw sent an unconscious Maldonado that collapsed into the ropes before he landed flat on his face and the fight was canceled.
