    As I mentioned on @CroBox29's thread about how disrespectful Beterbiev is to Bivol. His nice guy act is just that, the man is an a-hole and now you can add diva to that list.

    Bivol’s explanation put context behind this.

    Beterbiev does not cope well with defeat and even after the first fight he did not show the respect that Bivol deserved...

    Funny how last fight everyone was sucking Beterbiev’s d*** but now all of a sudden people are saying what I’ve been saying since the Yarde fight.

    I don't get what people are getting so riled up about here. Am I missing something? They shook hands, then they had another chat and seems that Beterbiev did some kind of banter at Bivol about 'I won't shake your hand again after the 3rd fight.' Bivol's explained it here as seemingly light-hearted. What are people on about?

    For anyone still deluding themselves, thinking Beterbiev is a great guy. A great guy wouldn't have an Islamic Fundamentalist Dictator and butcher like Ramzan Kadyrov in their corner. People in hysterics every time a celebrity comes out in support of a benign peace loving politician like Trump, but look the other way when a P4P fighter has an actual tyrant in his corner, is the height of hypocrisy.

    Tbf I don't think he really has a choice letting Ramzan Kadyrov in there, I definitely wouldn't want to say 'no' to the guy.

    That is one thing that can be hard to gauge with fighters from different cultural backgrounds, especially if they don't speak English all that way. He could come across as a huge dickhead to someone familiar with his culture and language for all I'd know.

    You are completely wrong. Watch the video above and see Bivols explanation.

    True. My respect for Beterbiev as a man plummeted when I saw that.

    You go say "no" to a dictator - who has people thrown into prison and then beaten to death - and watch what happens to your entire family.....

    Fedor Emelienko said something about Kadyrov and his daughter got beaten up. Since then Fedor stayed quiet as a mouse for good reason. Even the Russian mafia are terrified of Kadyrov. Only Putin can keep him in line.

    It's easy to say nonaense online from behind a keyboard but you have no idea what these dictators are like or what they can do to people.....
    People who talk a big game online usually end up simping for the first pretty girl that says hello to them :lol:

    Kadyrov would murder your entire family and not even skip a heartbeat over it.

    All the Dagestani fighters, be it boxing or MMA, come across as complete and total wankers.
