As a matter of fact, Kadyrov is a fan of the sport and follows some of the famous Russian fighters such as Magomed Ankalaev and Khamzat Chimaev.

“Dana White, what happened to you? You were a normal, principled man, and today you took the championship belt out of the ring without handing it to the clear winner. Or has politics entered the UFC ring and requires you to referee dirty? …,” Kadyrov wrote.

“Take an example from Mairbek Khasiev (ACA league), who stops any juggling in the league, any bias, demanding objectivity and not mixing sports with politics. Hey, Dana White, where are you going? Save the face of the league, your own face…,” Kadyrov added.

Meanwhile, the UFC Boss has already made the decision to crown the next light heavyweight champion. Much to the disappointment of the Chechen dictator, in light of recent events, White calls a fight between Glover Teixeira and Jamahal Hill for light heavyweight champion. This decision will undoubtedly not go well with Kadyrov as he was rooting for Ankalaev.
