The soldiers made caustic jokes, tried to morally break the enemy, and recorded videos with threats. In the debate, the winner was not determined, so the fighters gave their all in the ring. It was an interesting and colorful fight, the result of which was Ismailov's well-deserved victory, ”Kadyrov wrote on his page on the VKontakte social network.
