Khamzat Chimaev revealed he spent between $600,000 and $700,000 to construct a wrestling gym for children in his village in Chechnya. He stated that he fights not only for himself but to create opportunities to help people, and money enables him to do so. Chimaev dismissed critics who complain about his inactivity, saying he earns millions from UFC and even more outside the cage through sponsorships and business opportunities. He also mentioned helping villagers with medical expenses and other needs when they contact him for assistance.
