How The Russian Warlord Is Ruining Chimaev’s UFC Career

Chimaev was supposed to do what Alex Pereira is doing right now.

It's actually wild how much shit Conor just openly exposed. I completely forgot he just blatantly called out Khabib for taking money from a warlord then acting all humble and shit lmao

Bro fought 3 times in 3 months, and since has fought 4 times in 4 years.

It's easy to call Khamzat a hypocrite for his association with Kadyrov, however, I think it's easy to understate the delicacy of his situation. I'm pretty sure his mother still lives in Chechnya. It's one thing to stand up for your values at your own risk, but in his case he'd be endangering his own family. It's scary stuff

He looked like he got uncomfortable when nelk asked him about kadyrov

Khamzat can’t say no to these people though that’s the problem

I feel for Fedor😢

Conor's trash talk against khabib was fucking insane, I always forget how crazy it actually was.

12:07 Fedor is a real one speaking against that Warlord's mma organisation. Good fighter and also a good man. My fav fighter

Its crazy to me to see a guy who was so fearless get super uncomfortable and nervous whenever it came to speaking about Kadyrov.

Finally someone said it. Respect

A literal world leader threatening a 15 year old on instagram live is so absurd

"I'm going to split-decision everybody!!!"

I'm scared for Chimaev if he starts losing fights. Kadyrov doesnt seem to take losses well 😬

Chimaev did not change his nationality. He never had Swedish citizenship despite living there for many years and representing the country. I think his coach said he felt resentful over that.

Man I’m not gonna lie khamzat is in a tough position if u knew about these Eastern European politics you would understand how hard it is to just escape these connections

I’m convinced he has zero choice when it comes to being friends with Kadyrov. I’m sure he has to say yes to every request he makes and that he’s doing so to keep him and his family safe - in 10 years or so he’ll probably fall out of favour with him and escape to the West where the whole story will be revealed.

Here is my take guys. Im danish and have befriended many from the russian and chechen community. To be short, chechens and generally people from the North Caucasus are the most hardened, brave and disciplined people I have ever met. They are extremely loyal, very religious and kind of old fashion in a warrior way. Even the russians who are tough people knows not to mess with caucasians like chechens and dagestanis. So to scare a chechen you really have to be an insane psychopath with a lot of power. Kadyrov is despised by most chechens and seen as a traitor and corrupt man. However no one dares to publicly voice their opinion out of fear since Kadyrov have shown to be very brutal about insults. Many chechens in Western European countries have been assasinated just for speaking up and he is not afraid to go after family members also. Im 90% sure that deep inside Khamzat despises Kadyrov but out of fear for his familys safety he caters to pressure. Remember guys, Russia is very different than the West. You don just critisize leaders like Putin or Kadyrov and get away with it

So he he says free palestine but when asked about kadyrov human rights , he says i am just an athlete ??😅

such a powerful man threatening a kid on a live stream over feelings and calling the truth bet that kid would woop his ass in a fight now.
