Khamzat Chimayev arrived in Chechnya after his fight with Kamaru Usman

The Chechen leader posted the corresponding video, as well as comments on the fight that took place at UFC 294 in Abu Dhabi, on his social networks.

“Khamzat Chimaev’s fight the previous day was a real decoration of the UFC tournament,” Kadyrov wrote. “In the confrontation with Kamaru Usman, he demonstrated a high level of physical and moral preparation. Needless to say, the result of the fight and in general the fight itself left no one indifferent. But few people know that Hamzat spent almost the whole meeting with a broken finger in the first round. Despite this, our fighter not only maintained the highest level, but even managed to come out of such a difficult situation victorious. I admire his stamina!”⠀

“After the main event, our champion went to his native Chechen Republic, where he was eagerly awaited by an enthusiastic audience of his compatriots. I should note that Khamzat gave a feast to a numerous army of admirers who are impressed by his talent and incredible perseverance. This was evidenced by the solemn welcome organized by the fans at Grozny International Airport named after Hero of Russia Akhmat-Khadji Kadyrov”⠀

“I, like millions of Hamzat’s fans, rightly consider him to be an outstanding fighter of our time. Unlike those who rely on talent, Hamzat has worked hard, honing his skills day after day. That’s why his success is only 1% talent and all 99% labor. The way he treats his chosen cause, how much effort and time he puts into it, should serve as a shining example for all our athletes who want to climb the podium in the future. I am confident that Chechen Borz will be able to achieve even greater success. He has huge potential for this. I sincerely wish Hamzat new achievements in his career, good health and family prosperity! AHMAT-SILA! ALLAHU AKBAR!”

Recall that the middleweight fight between Khamzat Chimaev and Kamaru Usman, which became the second most important event of the numbered event, went the whole distance and ended with the victory of “Borz” by the majority of judges’ votes.
