Islam Makhachev criticizes construction problems in Makhachkala and Dagestan

UFC lightweight champion Islam Makhachev has repeatedly drawn attention to construction issues in Dagestan, particularly in Makhachkala. Seventeen days ago, during flooding in Dagestan, Makhachev appealed to regional leadership to address construction problems, stating that "Makhachkala has turned into one chaotic construction site." Recently, he reposted content from geographer Dmitry Koryukhin, a school teacher in Dagestan, who shared aerial photographs showing the urban planning problems in the city. The post describes issues including low-quality residential complexes built close together, numerous unauthorized constructions, and general urban development chaos. Makhachev's social advocacy highlights his concern for his home region beyond his fighting career. The champion has used his platform to bring attention to what he views as serious infrastructure and development issues affecting Dagestan.
