Retired American mixed martial arts veteran Jake Shields reacts to the undefeated UFC fighter's change of citizenship Khamzat Chimaev.

The other day it became known that the 29-year-old Chechen refused his Swedish passport and will now represent the UAE.

“I’m not a fan of Khamzat Chimaev, but this is a smart move on his part. Now he got zero percent taxes and freedom of speech,” Shields tweeted.
