MMA fighter Maxim Divnich criticized Islam Makhachev on his social networks, who expressed his support for Palestine.
“Islam Makhachev said that after defeating Volkanovski, he did not celebrate the victory, he talked about Palestine and wanted the events to be stopped. But we have never heard his opinion about the Northern Military District, the children of Donbass and what is happening there. Divnich wrote that for some in our country, religion is more important than in Russia.
On October 21, Makhachev won an early victory over the Australian representative Alex Volkanovski in the main fight of the evening at the UFC 294 tournament in Abu Dhabi (UAE). The Russian player defeated his opponent by knockout in the first round and defended his title for the second time. After the clash, the Russian said that he did not celebrate his victory because of what was happening in Palestine and the Gaza Strip.
Russian-origin Swedish fighter Khamzat Chimaev, who won his fight against Kamaru Usman in the Abu Dhabi tournament, also made a speech in support of Palestine. The fighter turned to Ramzan Kadyrov with a request to give him weapons and go to Palestine.
