Mamed Khalidov - Polish or Chechen?

Underground
1

I believe Sherodg mentioned that he's Polish. But i believe he's actually Chechen.

Anyone have more info?

2

Just going by the name, he's Central Asian. Could be Chechen, Daghstani, Bashkir, Turkmeni, or one of the many other assorted nationalities that were part of the USSR. Most definitely not Polish (unless he immigrated)

I think he fights out of Poland and may be a citizen but is not originally from there.

 Yeah, he's Chechen...

    It's Chechen Republic, it's not a country it's a federal subject of Russia.

    At one time (possibly still?) he was billed as fighting out of Chechen Top Team.

    he's from Czeczenia, however lives and trains in Olsztyn, Poland for many years. Speaks fluent Polish. But still visits family in Czeczenia quite often during vacation. Lots of Czeczen refugees in Poland from first and second Czeczen war.
