Mukhamed Berkhamov, a native of the Kabardino-Balkarian Republic (KBR), will not be able to take part in the title fights at the ACB (Absolute Championship Berkut)-80 Tournament, because of his fractured arm, the RIA "Kabardino-Balkaria" has reported today with reference to the press centre of the ACB-80.

At the tournament, Albert Tumenov, another KBR fighter, was to fight Berkhamov. After the latter was forced to withdraw, the 28-year-old American Na-Sean Barrel was chosen to be Tumenov's rival, the RIA reports.

  • Compensation decrease for illegal prosecution violates rights of KBR resident

    The court ruling, which awarded Madin Gubzhokov compensation of 30,000 roubles for unlawful criminal prosecution, is incomparable with the moral harm caused by the actions of Azamat Kyaov, a former law enforcer. The amount is ridiculous and should be appealed against, lawyers and human rights defenders have stated.
