Ali Kadyrov, the 16 year old son of Chechen leader Ramzan Kadyrov, has won his MMA debut albeit in controversial fashion.
On Dec. 23, the young Ali Kadyrov, who was cornered by UFC star Khamzat Chimaev, faced another debuting fighter Islam Akbarov at his father’s event ACA 150.
Kadyrov was taken down twice during the fight but pushed the pace towards the end of the round.
The lightweight won the fight by referee stoppage due to strikes although many fans questioned the referee’s intervention.
Lol might be the most bad stoppage I’ve seen this year #ACA150
