What was said
"I just want to say that if something happens between two men, they need to sort things out between themselves without letting media make fitna between nations. We are all brothers, Chechens and Kurds. We are Muslims and we should stay united."
Conner Burks says UFC fighter Khamzat Chimaev posted a message amid online fallout involving Namo Fazil. Burks says the message calls for Chechens and Kurds to stay united and includes a warning about consequences for people who speak badly.
