UFC fighter Khamzat Chimaev, who previously represented Sweden, has again celebrated a success together with Chechnya's dictator Ramzan Kadyrov, writes Expressen.

Chimaev was recently World Champion in welterweight and was praised, among other things, by friend Zlatan Ibrahimovic. Now Chimaev, who lives in and represents the United Arab Emirates, took the opportunity to visit Chechnya where he was born. There he was received by the hard-line leader Ramzan Kadyrov. Kadyrov's rule in the republic has been described as tyranny by human rights organizations. Chimaev has also previously visited, and praised, Kadyrov.
