Footage has emerged showing UFC contender Khamzat Chimaev sparring with Ramzan Kadyrov, the Chechen dictator accused of countless human rights abuses.
Chimaev could be seen training with Kadyrov in his local fight club, where he allowed himself to be punched repeatedly and taken down by the dictator. Kadyrov even attempted to lock in several submission attempts.
The undefeated welterweight also trained with Kadyrov’s children, serving as a punching bag for the teenagers.
“Despite the formidable and eminent opponent, the BOYS were in no way inferior to Khamzat in skill,” Kadyrov wrote on social media. “As befits the fighters, they analyzed the movements and weaknesses of the opponent, after which they proceeded to counterattacks.
