An aspiring MMA fighter was found dead on a train traveling from Moscow to Vladikavkaz. Georgiy Gagloev was just 25 years old, practiced MMA locally, and was quite deft in hand-to-hand combat and freestyle wrestling.
Last year, he made a plea to Chechen dictator Ramzan Kadyrov to help him find his aunt, who had disappeared mysteriously while traveling to the airport.
According to reports from the Russian state-affiliated news outlet tass.ru, the condition of the fighter's body was not normal. The website claims that his death may have been "violent," indicating that he was murdered.
Gagloev previously put out an appeal to the Chechen leader and the administration when his aunt went missing.
Georgiy Gagloev's aunt was a fortune teller, a practice that is banned in Islam and hence was banned in Chechnya. In a video that he uploaded to YouTube, Gagloev admitted that his aunt practiced fortune telling and also admitted knowing it was an illegal practice in their religion. However, he defended her actions, saying she did it in Ossetia.
Ramzan Kadyrov did not respond, but the video went viral across the Russian Federation.

Ramzan Kadyrov's son trained with UFC fighters for his MMA debut
Ramzan Kadyrov takes an active interest in the MMA landscape and in the lives of prominent athletes such as Khamzat Chimaev, Khabib Nurmagomedov, and Magomed Ankalaev.
All of these Russian fighters have been linked to the dictator in one way or other. In December last year, Kadyrov's son Ali was training with the likes of Chimaev and Cody Garbrandt for his MMA debut.
The youngster made his debut in a league run by his dad and won after the referee controversially stopped the fight in the very first round. Many fans believed the fight was rigged because of the power, influence, and sheer fear instilled in the hearts of the Chechen people by Ramzan Kadyrov.
The dictator rules with an iron fist and does not tolerate any criticism by the media.
His company, Fight Club Akhmat, sponsors UFC light heavyweight Magomed Ankalaev. Khamzat Chimaev, who's from Chechnya, is also regularly seen hanging out with him and training his son.
Take a look at Kadyrov's son with UFC fighters:
