Internet users support Emelianenko in his dispute with Kadyrov

The criticism by the famous fighter Fyodor Emelianenko of children fights organized in Grozny provoked a harsh reaction of Ramzan Kadyrov and his relative Adam Delimkhanov, a Stat Duma MP, who demanded apologies from Fyodor. Emelianenko will not apologize to Kadyrov, Stanislav Belkovsky, a political consultant, is sure. Users of social networks support Emelianenko.

The "Caucasian Knot" has reported that in response to criticism by MMA (Mixed Martial Arts) professionals, Kadyrov's retinue said that the above fights were a PR-action and caused no harm to the health of children.

Kadyrov has also assured that in the region are doing their best for the initiation of young people to the sport.

Delimkhanov wrote in the Instagram, that "whoever the man, he will have to answer for his every word spoken against" Kadyrov's son, whom he treated as his nephews.

Nikolai Valuev, a former world boxing champion, now a State Duma MP too, agrees with Emelianenko about inadmissibility of participation of children in ultimate fighting.

According to Stanislav Belkovsky, "it is likely a new round of showdown on whether Chechnya is a part of political and legal space of the Russian Federation, or it is completely independent and can do whatever they want in its territory," the "BFM.ru" reports.

Social network users almost unanimously uphold Fyodor Emelianenko, who said that children under 12 are not allowed to fights according to MMA rules.
