A 21-year-old man from Dagestan named Magomed S. has been fined for inciting ethnic hatred in a UFC-related Telegram chat. The Kizlyar District Court found him guilty under Article 20.3.1 of the Administrative Code after he made inflammatory comments about Russians in the UFC Eurasia chat three years ago. Though he apologized within an hour and a half, authorities pursued the case. Magomed acknowledged his guilt, expressed remorse, and was fined 10,000 rubles. The case serves as a warning about online conduct in MMA community spaces.
