On occasion, mixed martial arts fighters venture across the world to the North Caucasus to take part in fight seminars in the republics like Dagestan and Chechnya. Last week, several videos were posted of former and current UFC champs Frank Mir, Fabricio Werdum and Chris Weidman being extremely friendly with controversial Chechen president Ramzan Kadyrov. They were invited to his palace as honored guests following the inaugural Akhmat MMA event, danced the traditional Caucasus dance, and posed with guns before returning home to resume their daily lives.

There is also a short clip of Vinny Magalhaes firing a grenade launcher:
Here is another of Huerta learning to use an assault rifle.
