Head of AMC Fight Nights Kamil Gadjiev said he did not see the point in a special inspection of MMA gyms after the terrorist attacks in Dagestan, recalling that mixed martial arts are extremely popular in the republic.
According to the Investigative Committee, 15 law enforcement officers as well as four civilians were victims of a series of terrorist attacks in Makhachkala and Derbent on the evening of June 23.
Previously, the Mash Telegram channel reported that one of the liquidated terrorists was a student of Abdulmanap Nurmagomedov’s school and a member of his son Khabib’s fight club. Rizvan Magomedov, who represents the interests of Khabib Nurmagomedov, Islam Makhachev and other Russian fighters, denied this information in a commentary on . According to the SHOT Telegram channel, the Dagestan authorities plan to inspect the sports sections in which MMA fighters were trained.
— According to some reports, they would like to carry out inspections of MMA gyms.
– Who to look for… Look for the idiots or the bastards who did this. You won’t find anyone this way. It’s very subjective. Overall, it is not entirely correct to look for religious connotations in what happened. The fact that people went to commit a terrorist attack against a synagogue and a church does not mean that they are believing Muslims or radical Muslims. No, they’re just non-humans. There’s no religious overtones here, it’s just crazy.
And on what principle will these gymnasiums be controlled… Well, you have a hundred boys training in your gymnasium. So what’s next? If one out of five terrorists turned out to be an MMA fighter, that wouldn’t be enough. Because in Dagestan, every fifth person simply trained and did MMA, and competed somewhere there.
Yes, you need to understand what the people who come to your gym do. But this should not be done by law enforcement, but by trainers. For example, 50 people train with Rasul Magomedaliev. You point at anyone and he will tell you about each one – what the boy does, what family he comes from, etc. So I have a hard time imagining the mechanism (for controlling the corridors). If you maintain an accounting system, there will be no harm. What would happen if we counted everyone involved in sport by name? This will be a good thing for the industry: we will understand how many people are interested in this sport, ”reports the correspondent of , reporting Gadzhiev’s words.
In Dagestan, June 24, 25 and 26 were declared days of mourning.
