Khamzat Chimaev has revealed he spent between $600,000 and $700,000 to construct a wrestling gym for children in his home village in Chechnya. In an interview on the Beyond The Win channel, Chimaev explained that he fights not only for himself but to have the financial means to help others. He stated he also provides assistance to villagers who fall ill and can call him for support. Chimaev defended his fighting frequency against critics, saying he earns millions from the UFC and even more outside the octagon through sponsorships and business opportunities enabled by his name recognition. He emphasized that he is living his dream and is grateful for the money the UFC pays him.
