Chimaev does not and never has had a Swedish passport

Alexandr Ormanji Oct. 21, 2023, 8:52 a.m.

Alan Nascimento, UFC middleweight coach Khamzata Chimaeva, made an unexpected statement. He reported that his client does not have a Swedish passport and is not a citizen of this Scandinavian country.

“The truth is that Chimaev never had a Swedish passport. He is not a Swedish citizen and never was. He has a Russian passport. But due to the political situation, it is difficult to travel around the world with a Russian passport. Especially a Chechen... Now Khamzat has applied for a UAE passport. It’s a kind of partial citizenship that helps you travel around the world.”
