Saitiev, a three-time Olympic champion, said UFC chief White’s decision to return the flags was worthy of respect.

Triple Olympic freestyle wrestling champion Buvaysar Saitiev believes that the decision of the head of the UFC Dana White returning the flags is worthy of respect.

White previously said promoted fighters would once again be allowed to compete in fights with their country’s flags. The UFC flag ban has been in effect since last spring.

— The precedent is worthy of attention. White’s organization is not part of the IOC, so Dana is not burdened by any treaties or rules. He can make his own rules. It’s good that there is an objective attitude towards Russian sport. It would be bad if White had a negative attitude towards our athletes and limited their rights. This testifies to the correct attitude of the head of the UFC towards sport and sports policy. Worthy of respect, given that UFC is one of the most popular and high-profile sporting activities, this will not go unnoticed. A beautiful and correct gesture towards our country in general and towards our athletes in particular,” MMA.Metaratings.ru quoted Saitiev as saying.
