Alexander Shlemenko, former Bellator champion, became an honorary resident of Khasavyurt district in Russia.

"Today together with Sultan Khamzaev's team I took part in the opening of the sports ground "Sober Russia" in the village of Novogagatli of Khasavyurt district. Through our joint efforts, we are continuing to develop sports in the streets. There should be as many such street sports grounds as possible. In a festive atmosphere, the head of the Khasavyurt district Dzhambulat Salavov unexpectedly presented me with a medal and a badge of honorary citizen of the Khasavyurt district. I thank him for his attention. There are nice, open, peaceful people in Novogatli, and I didn't want to leave them!" the fighter wrote on social media.
