Artur Chimaev, the elder brother of UFC prospect Khamzat Chimaev, told how the head of the Chechen Republic Ramzan Kadyrov helped his brother.
“Khamzat flew alone to America, the UFC said that doctors in the USA would be able to examine him. They did an examination and wrote to him that there was a suspicion of cancer. He worked out, he became a little ill, he began to cough and there was blood in the cough. Well, imagine his condition: he is alone in the USA, something is wrong, you are coughing up blood and they write to you that you have cancer. And a week ago, you seem to be in full health, you train normally, you fight. Then he wrote this post. After that, Ramzan Akhmatovich called him. He said, come home, here we will cure you. He came from America to Sweden, a private plane was sent here for him. And we went to Chechnya together. There, doctors examined him, and the next night they said that there was no cancer, there were consequences from the coronavirus. Fibrosis remained in the left lung - it was cured in two weeks. I think they gave him some kind of gel inhalation. And two weeks later he returned to training, a month later he got in shape, ”Chimaev told Match TV.
