When it comes to dealing with lashing-out fans, nobody does it better than Khamzat Chimaev in the UFC. The man is experienced in taking all kinds of criticism from his fans. The most popular ones are related to his ties with the Chechen dictator Ramzan Kadyrov. They aren’t related by blood or kin. However, both personalities have been spotted together a number of times and Chimaev has also received criticism for it on social media.
Some fans speculate that the reason for this is deeply rooted in the fact that Chimaev’s family also lives in Chechen. Khamzat Chimaev’s family might not have been able to move away for several reasons.
There is now a recent viral video where Ramzan Kadyrov is trying to takedown Khamzat Chimaev in a fight. Although it is practically impossible, Chimaev was going easy on him. Watching the fake fight, fans decided to take their thoughts to comment on it.

They are not wrong to think this, “looks ready for a title fight.” After all, why else would a dictator be fighting a professional MMA fighter?

Imagine how ridiculous Khamzat feels just playing with him

Yet another fan can think while standing in Chimaev’s shoes.
