Khamzat Chimaev is in trouble for his Instagram posts. The Swedish welterweight has been posting about Chechen supremo, Ramzan Kadyrov’s son, Ali Kadyrov. Chimaev has posted about his training, pictures from his weigh-in, and his victory on his Pro-MMA debut. Fans, however, didn’t like it. Many fans felt that Chimaev was doing it only to be in the good books of the Chechen supremo. Khamzat Chimaev was born in the Chechen republic, but he and his family moved to Sweden when he was 18. The recent string of posts made fans question if he was still worried about his Chechen roots and connections with Kadyrov.

Fans were also not convinced by Ali Kadyrov’s debut victory. They felt he had been handed a victory in a staged fight. Fans called out Kadyrov’s opponent for going on the ground too easily and not taking available opportunities to win the fight. A lot of fans have let their views known on the internet.
