Ramzan Kadyrov has downplayed the ongoing conflict with Khabib Nurmagomedov, claiming instead that the media is responsible for fabricating the story.
Speaking on Instagram live Tuesday, the Chechen dictator insisted that he “can’t say anything bad” about Nurmagomedov and that the former UFC champion’s cousins are members of his Akhmat MMA fight club.
“We have no problems,” Kadyrov said. “If I had not spoken about Khabib, I have a feeling that many media outlets and bloggers have run out of news and they definitely needed to hear something catchy from me. I can’t say anything bad about him.
