Khamzat Chimaev revealed he spent between $600,000 and $700,000 to build a wrestling gym for children in his village in Chechnya. In an interview on the "Beyond The Win" channel, Chimaev defended his love of money by explaining it provides opportunities to help people, including those in his village who are sick and need assistance. He addressed critics who claim he is inactive, stating he doesn't care about their opinions because he earns millions from the UFC and even more outside of fighting through sponsorships and business opportunities. Chimaev emphasized that he fights not only for himself but also to give back to his community and help others.
