Khamzat Chimaev, often referred to as “Borz,” is perceived as an enigmatic and unpredictable individual, both within and beyond the confines of the octagon. His actions are frequently so spontaneous that they leave people scratching their heads. Among his recent escapades is his newly reposted post, featuring one of the most controversial figures of contemporary times. And it has garnered quite the attention, and not all good.

The Russo-Ukraine war is not new unless anyone chooses to live under a rock. This war has been made possible and prolonged largely due to one man, Ramzan Kadyrov, the ruler of Chechnya. In his recent shenanigans, Chimaev uploaded an image with him on Instagram that left fans angry and dismayed. Here is what they have to say!

Chimaev’s recent actions didn’t sit well with the fans of combat sports. Fans, in no time, took to the comments to bash him for betraying Russia and Sweden as well.

Based on the reactions, it’s clear that they are not happy with Chimaev’s steady betrayal. Fans emphasized that Sweden and the All-Stars gym made him what he is today and leaving them behind is like betraying your own country. Some of the fans with a tint of sarcasm state that Kadyrov must have forced him to upload the photo. Nonetheless, it is clear that the MMA community is not happy with the recent choices ‘Borz’ has made.
