Report: Chechen MMA fighter Dzhihad Yunusov killed in Russia-Ukraine war

[ASFN Admin]

Dzhihad Yunusov has reportedly passed away while fighting for Russia’s war against Ukraine.

Yunusov was embroiled in controversy this past May after alleged footage emerged of him assaulting two of his neighbors. Yunusov reportedly threw coffee at an elderly woman and also assaulted her daughter when she intervened.

The feud allegedly started when Yunusov asked his neighbour to reposition her security camera so it no longer recorded his door. Yunusov was subsequently expelled from the Akhmat Fight Club, which Chechen dictator Ramzan Kadyrov owns.

Yunusov enlisted in the Russian army soon after. According to reports, Yunusov was initially expected to serve his time away from the front lines. However, Yunusov was reportedly dispatched to the warzone after a falling out with leadership.

Yunusov (19-8) had last competed in 2024 under the ACA banner.

OK, I've got the context. The woman is Yunusov's neighbour and she installed a camera in the hallway that doesn't only film her door, but also Yunusov's door. He'd been asking her to reposition it in so that it wouldn't allow her to watch and record his door. She rudely refused. https://t.co/Sch4yS5hzX— PAM (@ParamPam1990) May 16, 2026
