Islam Makhachev has repeatedly drawn attention to what he calls the "chaotic construction" problem in Dagestan, particularly in Makhachkala. He addressed regional leadership 17 days ago during flooding, stating the city has become "one chaotic construction site." Recently, he reposted geographer Dmitry Koryukhin, a school teacher in Dagestan who shared aerial photos highlighting what he called an "urban catastrophe" of haphazard development. Makhachev's posts criticize low-quality residential complexes built close together and the proliferation of unauthorized construction. The lightweight champion has used his platform to spotlight infrastructure and urban planning issues affecting his home region.
