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.

Let us remind you that on October 21, at the UFC 294 tournament in Abu Dhabi, UAE, Chimaev will fight against Brazilian Paulo Costa.
