Dagestan resident fined for ethnic hatred comments in UFC Telegram chat

A 21-year-old resident of Dagestan named Magomed S. has been fined 10,000 rubles by the Kizlyar District Court for inciting ethnic hatred against Russians in a UFC-related Telegram chat. The incident occurred three years ago in the UFC Eurasia Telegram chat, where Magomed made inflammatory comments during an argument with other users, though he apologized approximately 90 minutes later. Officers from Center "E" (Russian extremism unit) discovered the violation and brought charges under Article 20.3.1 of the Administrative Code. In court, Magomed acknowledged his guilt and expressed remorse for his actions. The case serves as a warning to others engaging in online discussions in MMA communities.
