Overview

  • Social videos posted Tuesday show Dart at Santo Studio working with UFC fighters Khalil Rountree Jr., Arman Tsarukyan and Luke Jumeau in Team Chimaev sessions.
  • Coverage frames the work as conditioning to build cardio, strength and calm decision-making under pressure with no indication he plans to fight in MMA.
  • As a rookie, he started 12 games, threw for 2,272 yards with 15 touchdowns and five interceptions, and he missed two games with a concussion.
  • Heavy reports he went 4–8 after replacing Russell Wilson, while ClutchPoints highlights the mental edge from training with elite fighters and Newsweek stresses Chimaev’s demanding regimen.
  • The Giants begin 2026 under new head coach Jon Harbaugh, and Dart said last month he is eager to learn in his system as he prepares for a full year as the starter.
