Fascinating read on Kadyrov's MMA links.

On Sept. 2, 2017, several of the most dangerous men in the Chechen Republic attended a UFC Fight Night event in Rotterdam. They arrived in a fleet of Mercedes Benz vehicles, which were then parked in haphazard fashion in the back lot of the Ahoy Rotterdam convention center. From the cars emerged an entourage of no less than 14 people, led by Abuzayed Vismuradov, the right-hand man of Chechen dictator Ramzan Kadyrov.

The escort of Chechen men followed Vismuradov into the building, where they sat in attendance to support their fellow countryman and Kadyrov loyalist Abdul-Kerim Edilov, who was scheduled to make his UFC debut that evening. Each wore a t-shirt emblazoned with a picture of the dictator’s father and supposed founder of modern (post-war) Chechnya, Akhmad Hadji Kadyrov. A handful of the Chechen escorts were fellow fighters from the Akhmat Fight Club—the MMA gym funded by Kadyrov himself as an extension of his own authoritarian regime—while others, like Vismuradov, were members of Kadyrov’s government.
