UFC star Khamzat Chimaev reportedly crashed a Mercedes Benz that was gifted to him by Chechen dictator Ramzan Kadyrov.
While Chimaev has not confirmed the news, a Chechen news account posted a video of the car, which was badly damaged from an apparent collision with a barrier. The car appeared to be identical to one that Chimaev posed with on Instagram earlier that day.
“Khamzat Chimaev had an accident yesterday,” the caption to the clip said, accruing thousands of views. “Khamzat himself was not injured.”
Chimaev was reportedly gifted the car by Kadyrov during a visit in January 2021, making him the latest UFC fighter to receive a luxury car from the dictator.
