    According to reports, Khamzat Chimaev’s passport was seized, and he was prevented from leaving Russia.

    UFC star Khamzat Chimaev has had his passport seized by Russian authorities, and he is currently unable to leave the country, according to a report by Brazilian outlet Combate.

    Chimaev was initially supposed to arrive in Rio de Janeiro this week to watch a film premiere about Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu legend Fernando Terere. However, his passport was taken because Russia “has been recruiting soldiers for the war against Ukraine,” the outlet says.

    Chimaev had his passport seized in St. Petersburg, where he disembarked before heading to Chechnya to visit his family. Chimaev is a Chechen native; however, he currently resides and trains out of Sweden.
