Khamzat Chimaev revealed he spent between six hundred and seven hundred thousand dollars building a wrestling gym for children in his village in Chechnya. In an interview on the Beyond The Win channel, Chimaev addressed criticisms about his love of money and inactivity. He stated that money provides opportunities to help people, including assisting sick villagers who call him for support. Chimaev dismissed critics who complain about his long gaps between fights, saying he earns millions from the UFC and is living his dream. He added that he makes even more money outside of fighting through sponsorships and business opportunities due to the name he has built for himself.
