Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) fighter Islam Makhachev risks falling into Australian prison for feeding pygmy kangaroos – quokkas. Reported by PerthNow.
A video of a Russian fighter feeding a quokka was posted on the official UFC YouTube channel.
According to the source, humans are prohibited from feeding quokka as human food can cause health problems. In addition, small marsupials should not be physically touched. Under Australian law, non-compliance is punishable by criminal prosecution and a fine of up to $7.5k.
On February 12, Islam Makhachev will fight Alex Volkanovski at UFC 284 in Perth, Australia.
Volkanovski takes first place in the official UFC rankings among the best fighters, regardless of weight category.
On October 22, 2022, Islam Makhachev teamed up with Brazilian Charles Oliveira to fight for the lightweight title at the UFC-280 tournament in Abu Dhabi. The Russian fighter won the second round with a suffocating grip.
Before retiring from professional sports, another Russian, Khabib Nurmagomedov, held the lightweight championship belt.
