The head of the Chechen Republic, Ramzan Kadyrov, during a live broadcast on Instagram, said that he was ready to pay the former UFC lightweight champion Khabib Nurmagomedov “any fee” for a victorious duel against a fighter representing the Akhmat fight club.
“In the UFC, he [Khabib] broke everyone one hundred percent, but whether he will break someone from Akhmat is a question,” Kadyrov said. - I am ready to put anyone of his weight from “Akhmat” and any fee. If Khabib performs at Akhmat, then I am ready to give any money and see if he breaks anyone at Akhmat. In the UFC, he tore everyone up, and we were rooting for him, and in Akhmat we are rooting for ours and… Let’s see. I am ready to pay [Khabib] more royalties than the UFC if he fights in Akhmat against our team-mate. And we’ll see who will take it. May the strongest win. "
Khamzat Chimaev (9-0 in MMA) during the live broadcast of Kadyrov left the following comment: “We will tear him apart if he wants to.” He probably meant Nurmagomedov.
