Tristan Tate hails UFC star Khamzat Chimaev’s ‘peace’ message amid Israel-Palestine conflict
BUCHAREST, ROMANIA: Controversial social media influencer Andrew Tate's brother Tristan Tate recently praised UFC middleweight Khamzat Chimaev for his message of peace amid the ongoing Israel-Hamas conflict.
In the post-fight interview after his victory over the former welterweight champion Kamaru Usman, Chimaev talked about the violence in the Gaza Strip, including the bombing of hospitals and residential structures, resulting in the loss of many innocent women and children's lives.
What did Khamzat Chimaev say?
Standing in the UFC fighting cage, Chimaev said, “Hey guys. Assalamualaikum Abu Dhabi. Guys, you know what’s happening in the world now, right now. I wasn’t happy in the cage fighting this week. Seeing the kids dying."
He continued, "It doesn’t matter, whatever in the world. Ukraine, Syria, Afghanistan, Palestine, doesn’t matter," he added, "When kids die, it’s hard guys. I love the kids."
